MiZone (Malabar Innovation Entrepreneurship Zone) traces its origins to a community-led entrepreneurial movement that began in 2015, well before its formal institutional structuring. This movement took shape through the Positive Commune Entrepreneurship Club, a non-political, independent, not-for-profit and informal community platform founded and led by Subhash Babu, along with a group of like-minded entrepreneurs. The community brought together aspiring and practicing entrepreneurs to explore leadership, business opportunities and peer-to-peer learning in an open yet structured environment, supported by mentors and alumni based in India and abroad.

Through sustained community interactions, a clear gap became evident. While entrepreneurial intent, talent and ideas were abundant, there was a lack of organised platforms capable of converting them into scalable and sustainable enterprises. This challenge was not limited to early-stage startups alone; many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were also struggling to adapt to technology disruption, evolving markets and global competition.

As discussions matured, the focus shifted toward creating a formal, technology-enabled entrepreneurial ecosystem that could support both startups and SMEs. Emphasis was placed on applying disruptive and enabling technologies to modernise business processes, unlock new opportunities and drive scale across sectors.
In 2017, this vision was formalised through the incorporation of a non-profit company under Section 8 of the Companies Act, India. Subsequently, in 2019, MiZone launched its incubation initiative with the establishment of an incubation centre at Mangattuparamba, Kerala, enabled by Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM) with support from the Government of Kerala. The incubation centre was formally inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Kerala, Shri Pinarayi Vijayan, marking a significant milestone in MiZone’s journey.

As part of ecosystem collaboration, KCCP Ltd, a Public Sector Undertaking under the Government of Kerala, partnered in the initiative by providing land and building infrastructure, enabling the physical foundation for the incubation ecosystem.

WE ADOPTED A GLOBAL OUTLOOK

MiZone Today

While the incubation centre initially provided shared workspaces and facilities, MiZone’s ambition extended far beyond physical infrastructure. The focus has been on building a community-based entrepreneurial ecosystem capable of supporting founders, group enterprises and SMEs across multiple stages of growth.

Over time, MiZone has expanded its scope to include startup incubation, SME scale-up support, technology adoption, mentorship networks, investment readiness, and student, youth and women entrepreneurship initiatives.

 

As entrepreneurship and business growth increasingly transcend borders, MiZone has adopted a global outlook, positioning itself as a platform that connects enterprises with national and international networks, investors, partners and markets. This evolution laid the foundation for MiZone’s global bridging initiatives across GCC, Africa and South-East Asia.

Today, MiZone stands as a government-enabled, community-rooted and globally oriented entrepreneurial ecosystem, committed to supporting enterprises from early ideas to growth-stage businesses, while contributing to enterprise development, employment generation and long-term economic impact.
