Calicut / March 9, 2026
Kozhikode, Mar 9: The land transfer and project commencement ceremony for the Sandbox Mini-Tech Park, to be developed at the Government Cyberpark in Kozhikode, was held at Cyberpark.
The Sandbox Mini-Tech Park, the first private co-developer project in Government Cyberpark, is planned as a Grade A technology workspace covering approximately 30,000 square feet.
The land for the project was handed over by Kerala State IT Infrastructure Limited (KITFRA) to the Sandbox team, with the official transfer of the land title completed during the event.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Santhosh Babu IAS (Retd.), Managing Director of KITFRA, said Kozhikode is emerging as a preferred destination for technology investments.
“Kozhikode is the destination of choice. We have the talent and Kerala has the energy. The state government is taking very positive steps. Over the next two years there will be huge demand for land. We need to create our own own billion-dollar economy,” he said.
The Sandbox Mini-Tech Park aims to provide modern office facilities suitable for technology companies, global enterprises, startups, and global capability centres.
Designed as an eco-friendly, energy-efficient LEED-certified green building, the project seeks to create a dynamic work environment equipped with modern amenities while generating new job opportunities.
The ground floor of the Mini-Tech Park will feature a co-working space with a café-cum-lounge, breakout areas, phone booth pods, and founder-mentor cabins. It will also include a compact incubation bay specifically reserved for early-stage entrepreneurs.
The project aims to strengthen Kozhikode city and the Malabar region as a growing technology and business hub, encouraging participation and investment from NRI entrepreneurs.
