Greater Malabar Initiative (GMi) is a citizen’s initiative consisting of successful entrepreneurs, professionals, technocrats and academicians from the Malabar region in Kerala who have joined hands with a common vision to ‘Build a Better Malabar for the Next Generation’. This forum was conceived out of our passionate belief that the successful people from the region owe a moral responsibility to handover a better Malabar to the next generation. Our organization was registered on December 4, 2015 as a non-profit company limited by guarantee under section 8 of the Companies Act 2013.

GMi works hand in hand with policy makers supporting their initiatives for public benefit. GMi organizes events to promote Malabar as a successful investment destination with the objective of creating jobs for our youth. GMi wants to see that more and more people come to Malabar as tourists, as professionals and as entrepreneurs.

Towards achieving our vision, GMi has formed various sub-committees with professionals, technocrats, and experts from the respective field to work on a voluntary basis.

Tourism subcommittee works with the objective of making Kozhikode / Malabar a successful tourist destination. We believe that with the warmth and hospitality that people of this region are famous for, Home stays and Farm-stays can become a big success and a major revenue earner for Kozhikode / Malabar. With this objective we are organizing a series of training programs for aspiring Home-stay and Farm-Stay owners.
