The Infopark campus currently has 9.2 million sq ft (850 thousand m2) of built-up area and is the major contributor of IT export revenue from the state of Kerala.[5] IT exports from Infopark which stood at ₹32 billion (US$380 million) in 2016–17, doubled in a period of 4 years, rising to ₹63.1 billion (US$760 million) in 2020–21.[6] A huge real estate boom was triggered soon after Infopark started to attract big MNCs from around the globe. Infopark changed the landscape and lifestyle of Kochi, particularly the Kakkanad area. A new culture got evolved and more and more commercial and residential ventures started to rise up which then extended the limits of Kochi city to further north end.[7]
The park is built on the 'Hub and Spoke model' for the development of the Information Technology industry in Kerala. Infopark acts as the hub to the spokes located at Thrissur and Cherthala.[8][9]
