Innovation doesn’t just create businesses — it transforms communities. In the heart of Kerala, Silicon Jeri is proving that entrepreneurship can do both.
What began as a startup ecosystem in Manjeri is now evolving into something bigger — a destination. Silicon Jeri is attracting innovators, professionals, and investors not only for its thriving business community but also for the experience it offers. This blend of creativity, culture, and collaboration is turning Manjeri into a startup tourism hotspot — a place where people come to build, connect, and be inspired.
With the support of Zilcubator, the incubation program powered by ZilMoney, Silicon Jeri is giving Kerala a new identity: a hub where business meets lifestyle and innovation becomes an experience.
