Infinity Centre
The aim of Infinity Centres is to invest the money remitted by expatriates in business ventures. They will also extend technical expertise and related services to enterprises.
Companies could be registered in Kerala through Infinity Centres located abroad. In addition, startups in Kerala could operate in foreign lands through these centres, without having to establish offices of their own. In the first phase, Infinity Centres will be opened in the United States, Australia, and Europe besides the one in UAE.
