Sabeer Nelli, founder and CEO of ZilBank.com and Zil Money Corporation, announced plans to transform the small city of Manjeri into "Silicon Jeri," positioning it as a hub for technological innovation in Kerala, India.
As a native of Manjeri himself, the Texas-based entrepreneur aims to leverage the talent and educational strengths of the region to create a world-class infrastructure for technology and innovation.
According to Nelli, Zil Money Corporation is investing in creating a world-class infrastructure, similar to the established tech parks in the United States. Plans are underway for the construction of "Zil Park," a state-of-the-art technology park modeled after Apple Park in Silicon Valley.
The project aims to attract top talent and companies to Manjeri, providing a platform for innovation, research, and development. In addition to technology companies, Zil Park will incorporate educational centers, incubators, and recreational facilities, offering a harmonious environment for professionals and families alike.
In that direction he has already established world-scale infrastructure through his firm ZilBank in Manjeri. The establishment is capable of hosting 500 employees with the potential to scale up to 1,400+ personnel across multiple shifts. Recognized as the “Google of Kerala” among developers, it boasts top-notch amenities and a global standard.
"Just as Silicon Valley revolutionized technology and business sectors, Silicon Jeri aims to become the center for technological innovation in Kerala and potentially all of India..The concept of Silicon Jeri isn't just about high-tech companies or startups; it's about creating an ecosystem that fosters innovation, much like what we've seen in Silicon Valley," the Indian American said.
