Said Mathukutty, “The business landscape of Kerala and the readers of Destination Kerala have changed in the last 18 years since we started rolling. We have expanded our leadership team and are scaling up our resources to effectively address the new set of opportunities. The emerging breed of digital consumers and increasing number of Kerala brands wanting to go national and international offer excellent avenues to extend our proven expertise in communications and marketing.”
