The Brand Keralam Conclave 2026, the fourth edition of the Profit Tusker Summit, is scheduled to take place on October 15, 2026, at O by Tamara, Thiruvananthapuram. Organized by FYBB and The Profit News, the conclave aims to bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, industry experts, and key stakeholders to explore strategies for positioning Kerala as a globally competitive destination for business, investment, manufacturing, and international trade.
The conclave will be inaugurated by Kerala Chief Minister Shri V. D. Satheesan, and will witness the participation of several ministers from the Government of Kerala, alongside prominent business leaders, global investors, entrepreneurs, and industry experts. Their participation will add significance to discussions on Kerala's investment opportunities, industrial development, international trade, and long-term economic growth.
Built around the vision of "Onnamathakanam Keralam" - an aspiration for Kerala to become a leader in economic development and enterprise - the conclave seeks to move beyond conventional business discussions and encourage meaningful dialogue on opportunities that can accelerate the state's economic transformation. The event's theme, "Rooted in Keralam. Ready for the World," highlights Kerala's potential to emerge as a significant hub for global investment, entrepreneurship, innovation, exports, and maritime commerce.
One of the major discussions at the conclave, "Make in Keralam," will explore opportunities to transform Kerala into a competitive destination for manufacturing, investment, technology, and entrepreneurship. Industry leaders and experts will deliberate on strategies for attracting domestic and international investment, strengthening micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), encouraging industrial innovation, and expanding Kerala's startup ecosystem.
Another major highlight of the conclave will be "Mission Samudra," a focused discussion on strengthening Kerala's maritime economy through integrated port connectivity and logistics infrastructure. The session will explore opportunities to connect Kerala's inland ports, waterways, and logistics hubs with major commercial gateways, including Vizhinjam International Seaport and Cochin Port.
The conclave is expected to provide opportunities for networking, knowledge exchange, and meaningful engagement among representatives of diverse industries. Participants will have the opportunity to explore emerging business opportunities, understand developments in Kerala's investment landscape, and engage in discussions on the infrastructure and policy priorities necessary to support future growth.
