Why We Started Originally Mallu: A Home for All Things Kerala

Kathakali Dance Form - Face of Kerala

Kerala is more than just a place – it’s a feeling. The smell of banana chips, the rhythm of chenda melam, the catchphrases from old Malayalam movies – every Malayalee carries a piece of home wherever they go. Originally Mallu was born from that deep love for our roots. It’s our way of keeping that connection alive for every Malayalee, no matter where they live.
