Pandemic proves blessing in disguise for satellite centres of Infopark Kochi campuses

The Koratty park offers the ideal location for the workforce from in and around the area compared to travelling all the way to the Kochi campus.

The pandemic and the resultant disruptions in the work culture appear to have come as a blessing in disguise for the satellite centres of Infopark Kochi at Koratty and Cherthala. With Work From Home (WFH) being the new norm, IT companies employing people from across the State now seem increasingly lured by the concept of Work Near Home as the State is being unlocked with restrictions. Unlike the last more than a decade since they turned operational – the satellite centre at Koratty was set up in 2009 and at Cherthala in 2012 – when the growth was rather slow-paced, the challenges inflicted by the pandemic seem to have led to better recognition of the facilities they offer. “We are receiving more inquiries both from the existing companies in Kochi to set up their own satellite campuses in these centres and new players as well. We are now promoting the potential of these satellite centres through digital medium to tap into this new-found demand,” said Arun Rajeevan, manager (marketing), Infoparks Kerala.
