Global Malayalee Festival Planned In Kochi

“Bond Beyond Borders: Discover Your Roots”

Kerala, often referred to as “God’s Own Country,” boasts a rich and diverse culture. It is a blend of various traditions, arts, and practices, with a strong connection to its history and nature. Kerala’s culture is reflected in its cuisine, clothing, art, and dance, and it is known for its intricately carved temples, traditional wooden homes, and unique literary and artistic forms.

Living thousands of miles away from this beautiful land of diverse traditions, yet the center of global ambitions, every Malayalee longs to be connected with and rediscover her/his roots. The fist ever Global Malayalee Festival planned to be held from August 15th to 16th, 2025 in Kochi, the most modern and ancient city of the state of Kerala, promises to offer the millions of Malayalees spread across the globe, a unique opportunity to “Bond Beyond Borders,” to experience and relive the rich cultural heritage of Kerala.

Andrew Pappachen, the Director & Chief Organizing Officer of the Global Malayalee Festival urged the Malayalee Diaspora to “be part of the cultural celebrations, celebrating our achievements, transformative discussions, and groundbreaking ideas at the inaugural Global Malayalee Festival in Kochi.”

The Festival 2025 brings together Malayalee diaspora leaders, innovators, and visionaries from around the globe to discuss and collaborate on shaping future technologies and their impact on global communities.

According to the organizers, “Malayalees from 47 countries in all five continents have joined the Global Malayalee Festival as advisors, ambassadors, and coordinators. We expect to create a global networking of New Gen, Businesspeople, and Technocrats.”

The festival will feature keynote sessions, panel discussions, cultural showcases, and networking opportunities designed to celebrate and empower the Malayalee diaspora’s contributions to the cultural and technological advancement of the world.

Dr. Abdulla Manjeri, the Director and Managing Director of the Festival said, “The Global Malayalee Festival is a celebration of Kerala’s culture, heritage, and global connections, offering opportunities for growth, networking, and unity. It blends tradition with modern opportunities, focusing on areas like trade and investment and celebration.”

This event brings together the worldwide Malayalee community to celebrate their rich traditions while fostering opportunities in trade, investment, and cultural exchange. With a diverse lineup of performances, workshops, and networking events, the festival aims to strengthen ties and showcase Kerala’s vibrant contributions to the world. Join us in Kerala for this unique cultural and economic convergence.

Founded with the objective of upholding and sharing the rich cultural values of Malayalees, the Global Festival envisions a cohesive community that not only embraces but actively perpetuates in the rich cultural traditions. “By nurturing our ties to cultural roots, we seek to instill a deep-seated sense of identity and belonging, preserving the ethnic, cultural, and social essence of the Malayalees and ensuring that aspects of this identity and unity remain eternal in spiritual and actual ways which should be vibrant in the future generations for global Malayalees,” said Pappachen.

According to Dr. Majeri, “We essentially engage or become a bridge between the growing diaspora of Malayalees living outside Kerala and the heritage that moulds every Malayali in essence by organizing events, including the Global Trade and Investment Meet, Miss Global Malayalee Pageant, The Global Malayalee Ratna Awards 2025, and the Global Malayalee Boat Race, as we realized that the unity makes the success possible. We also strive to contribute to charitable activities in Kerala, with the primary aim of helping underprivileged people and providing them with the necessary assistance.”

The vibrant tapestry of Malayalee culture will come alive during the Festival, where traditions, music, dance, and delectable cuisine blend to create an unforgettable experience. These celebrations, held across the globe, offer a unique opportunity for brands to engage with the dynamic and diverse Malayalee community.
