Kerala Bureao Of Industrial Promotion [K-BIP]

Our office is tucked away in Kurups Lane over in Sasthamangalam. Most people just call us K-BIP for short. We have been based in this part of Thiruvananthapuram for a good bit now. Our main job is helping with industrial stuff across the state of Kerala. It involves a lot of paperwork and meeting with people who want to start things up or grow their businesses. It is a government setup, so things follow a certain pace and process here. We spend our mornings going through files and the afternoons talking to different entrepreneurs or organizers. The lane is usually quiet enough, which is nice when we have a lot of documents to clear. We try to keep things moving as much as we can. It is not just about sitting behind desks though. We often have to coordinate between different departments. It is a lot of organizing and making sure everyone has the right information for their industrial projects. We do not have a fancy lobby or anything like that. It is just a working office where we handle the promotion side of things for the state's industries. If you are coming to see us, Sasthamangalam is pretty easy to find once you know the turns. We stay busy with various schemes and events that the government puts together. It is steady work and we see a lot of different people coming through the doors every week looking for a bit of guidance on how things work.
