Just like we call Bengaluru the Silicon Valley of India, Kochi can perhaps be called the Silicon Valley of Kerala. Accounting for over 55% of IT exports from Kerala, Kakkanad is certainly the "IT Capital of Kerala". Kakkanad is also home to a major portion of the industries in Kochi. The neighboring regions of Kalamassery and Udyogamandal together account for the majority chunk of the industries in Kerala.
Kakkanad houses the largest IT township in India called the Smart City. Infopark Kochi, the second largest IT industrial park in the whole of Kerala is also located in Kakkanad. Not only that, the Cochin Special Economic Zone with over 160 export-oriented industries employing over an estimated 16,000 personnel is also set in this suburb of Kochi.
Close to all the industries and IT parks, yet set in a quiet locality and away from the din is Santua’s Karthika Residency. Here, visitors to Kochi and Kakkanad can spend as many days as they like in quiet comfort and warm hospitality.
Even if you have business to do at Ernakulam or beyond, staying at Kakkanad makes good sense as it is a much vibrant part of Kochi and much more modern. Some of the best restaurants and eateries in Kochi are located at Kakkanad. You will also get the better access to the Airport from Kakkanad than from the heart of Ernakulam.
When staying at Kochi, Santua’s Karthika Residency is just perfect for those who wish for quality and comfort at an affordable price.
