Across Kerala, a quiet yet powerful transformation is taking shape. Young minds are dreaming bigger, building smarter, and thinking globally — and at the center of this change is Silicon Jeri, a next-generation startup hub in Manjeri that’s redefining what it means to innovate.
Silicon Jeri is not just another co-working space; it’s a launchpad for entrepreneurs, creators, and thinkers who believe that great ideas can emerge from anywhere.

And at its core lies Zilcubator, the startup incubation platform powered by ZilMoney, which gives new ventures the structure, direction, and resources they need to succeed.

The idea behind Silicon Jeri was simple but bold: create a world-class startup ecosystem in Manjeri that could rival the best innovation centers in India.

By combining infrastructure, education, and a vibrant network of founders, it gives innovators everything they need to build sustainable businesses. It’s not just a space for startups — it’s a space for possibilities.
