Fresh air, rush-free roads, and a great work life-balance would be the common answer for most of the non-keralites who would prefer to work in Kerala instead of other metropolitan cities in India. Two cities from Kerala, Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram have emerged as the most preferable cities to work among young India according to the India’s Skills Report: 2024, published on December 20, 2023. The report was prepared by Wheebox, a talent assessment agency, in association with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).
The report surveyed 3.88 lakh youths across India. TNM spoke to some non-Keralites about what made them stay back in Kerala, after moving to the state and are now enamoured by it.
Gabriel Nirmal Kiran, a 34-year-old Marketing Manager at Experion Technologies in Ernakulam, moved to Kerala around two years ago from Bangalore. Even though he’s been around only for two years he enjoys the infrastructure, greenery, and work-life balance in Kerala. “Nature brings a refreshing and revitalising influence, which leads to a balanced and better lifestyle.
The prominence of home-cooked food and the cheaper cost of living in a thriving culture make it ideal,” says Gabriel who is always excited to talk about the state. Raj Kishore Yadav, a native of the Madhubani district of Bihar now works as an Associate Software Engineer at Experion Technologies, Ernakulam after having completed his Master’s in MCA from the Cochin University of Science and Technology..
