Greater Malabar Initiative (GMI)
GMI focuses on bringing malabar region into tourism map with home stay, etc. We visited Rubber plantations near Kozhikode in the backdrop of beautiful Wayanad foothills.

It’s important to create a local investor community that would support these entrepreneurs as they can connect with the problems better. Good discussions with few HNIs in Kozhikode around this.
‘Leveraging Private Finance to Scale Urban Service Delivery’ at the CityFix Labs final event in Hyderabad on the 4th. During TheCityFix Labs journey, we realised that there is tremendous interest from all the stakeholders (government, investors, citizens and enterprises) in this topic and also, several unanswered questions. So, as we come to the close of our accelerator, we decided to discuss this very important and intriguing subject with a key subset of the stakeholders – government and investors- you all. For the discussion we will use the simple panel format- I will ask questions, you will answer and hopefully, somewhere along the process we can instigate a thought-provoking debate. We will also try to make it interactive by involving the audience.
