Trivandrum city has held a unique place in history going back to around 1000 AD. It’s also been a capital city right from 1795 AD when it was the capital of the erstwhile Kingdom of Travancore. Post-independence, the city has continued being the state capital and because of this unique position, Trivandrum is well-developed in terms of infrastructure and facilities. The city is also growing at a rapid rate, bringing more suburban areas into its folds over the years.

This growth is being fueled by the speedy expansion of Technopark, the upcoming Vizhinjam seaport and a thriving real estate industry working overtime to provide housing to the rapidly-expanding population.
