KSUM Launches Workspace Demand Survey

KOCHI:
Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) has launched a Workspace Demand Survey in Kochi to understand the evolving workspace needs of startups, early-stage enterprises, MSMEs, and small businesses across Kerala.

The initiative aims to design future-ready, affordable, and flexible startup workspaces in Kochi that align with the real needs of entrepreneurs in Kerala, giving a further impetus to the state’s vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.

“As Kerala’s startup ecosystem continues to grow, workspace requirements are rapidly changing—from solo founders and early teams to scaling startups seeking collaborative, infrastructure-rich environments,” said KSUM CEO Anoop Ambika.

Through this survey, KSUM seeks inputs on current workspace setups, future space requirements, preferred workspace models (co-working, private offices, incubation spaces), and critical infrastructure needs such as high-speed connectivity, prototyping facilities, meeting rooms, and shared services, he added.

The insights gathered will directly influence the planning and development of next-generation startup hubs in Kochi, ensuring they remain accessible, cost-effective, and supportive of innovation-led enterprises in their early and growth stages.

KSUM encourages startups, student entrepreneurs, early-stage founders, freelancers, and small business owners across Kerala to participate and make their voices heard.
