Technopark invites proposals to operate Keralam GCC Launchpad

Trivandrum / October 6, 2026

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct. 06: Technopark, India's first IT Park, has invited Requests for Proposal (RFP) from experienced managed office operators to run the Keralam GCC Launchpad, a soft-landing centre at the Chaliyar IT building on its Phase I campus.

The Launchpad will give global companies a fully serviced workspace even before they register in India. Occupants will get government facilitation for company formation and regulatory compliance, and the chance to test their operating model in Keralam before committing to a long-term space. Only GCC entities with no existing presence in the state will be admitted. They will pay only operating costs, with no space or occupancy charge for the first six months.

The selected operator will take the Chaliyar building's ground, first and second floors (50,000 sq ft) on a 20-year lease, with a six-month rent-free period from handover. The operator will build and manage the ground-floor Launchpad on Technopark's behalf, fit out the upper floors to its own Grade A specifications, and lease them to GCCs. It will also handle facilities management and GCC business development.

Applicants must have at least three years of operating experience as a managed office or flexible workspace operator in India and at least 40,000 sq. ft. of operational space. They must also have served at least two GCC or large enterprise clients. Experience in Keralam or South India, work with IT parks or government bodies, and ties with GCC-focused industry partners will count in a bidder's favour.

A pre-bid meeting will be held at Technopark on Oct. 13 at 12 pm. Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83899948030?pwd=YNtwqHrFcJc36UhNXgxbR0j6HKiyV2.1

Proposals must be submitted by 5 pm on Oct. 31. The RFP document is available in the Downloads section at https://technopark.in/announcements/387. Queries may be emailed to marketing@technopark.in with the subject line "Technopark GCC Launchpad RFP — Query — [Respondent Name]".

The Government of Keralam has made Global Capability Centres a strategic priority, drawing on the state's educated talent pool, strong digital infrastructure, competitive costs and quality of life. Technopark, a fully State Government-owned autonomous organisation, is home to 540 companies and around 84,000 professionals across 13.147 million sq. ft. of IT space, and holds a CRISIL A+/Stable rating.
