… was promoted in August 26, 2000 by a group of NRI businessmen and technocrats, on the premise that a global revolution was changing business, and business is changing the world.

There was a realization that it was time for the city of Kochi (Cochin) to connect its business community and the services they provide, with the rest of the world.

The sites intend to showcase the firms and individuals that are inventing the future and reinventing business at Kochi.

How it all began.
Nearly half a decade ago, a group of exceptionally bright and passionate people, with no money, resources or backing and little more than a dream - resolved to do something special: to create a new site for Kochi and to make a meaningful, positive difference to the lives of people.

We hold fast to the vision and believe that there is no greater power in the world than the force of a great idea. We know that competitive advantage arises from embracing change and welcoming innovation brought about by new advances in technology and globalization.

And believe that there are a growing number of innovators and leaders who are reshaping the future of business -- for good, for better, and forever.

We intend to involve every reader in ongoing debate about people, ideas, organizations, society, and rules. We will engage and provoke, inform and entertain, surprise and delight.

We will provide our readers the information and knowledge to help them work smarter and live a better life. With new thinking, new energy, and new passion - we want to help our readers reinvent themselves and the future and make a better place for themselves, in this world.
