01 — Local economy

Business in Thiruvananthapuram

State government departments, the Technopark IT campus and ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre at Thumba anchor employment in Kerala's capital. Hospitals and medical colleges draw patients from across southern Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Kovalam and Varkala sustain beach and Ayurveda tourism, and the Vizhinjam deep-water transshipment port, which began commercial operations in late 2024, is bringing logistics firms to the city's south.

Also known as Trivandrum.

Where software helps: Ayurveda hospitals, wellness resorts and specialty clinics treating domestic and foreign patients need multi-week treatment packages, in-house pharmacy stock and package or insurance billing to line up across branches.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Thiruvananthapuram: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Thiruvananthapuram?

Yes. Our studio is in Jaipur, 2,050 km away, and we work with Thiruvananthapuram businesses over video calls in normal Indian working hours, with working software every two weeks.

Can a custom ERP handle GST in Kerala?

Yes. Invoices raised in Kerala carry GST state code 32, with CGST and SGST on sales within the state and IGST on sales to other states. A custom ERP generates e-invoices through the IRP and e-way bills, as our own SteelERP does.

Can your AI agents talk to customers in Malayalam, English and Tamil?

Yes. Current language models handle Malayalam, English and Tamil well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.

What would a first project look like for a technology business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For technology & startups that is often subscription billing and project & time tracking. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
