Kerala Vision, launched under the cooperative model of the Cable TV Operators Association (COA), has emerged as a model for the world, said Shri H. Salam, MLA.

Shri Salam was inaugurating the 18th Entrepreneurs’ Meet of the Cable TV Operators Association, organised as Vision Summit 2025, held at the Camelot Convention Centre, Alappuzha, on Saturday.

He also stated that Kerala Vision is entering the Total Solution Provider sector and will be launching new projects worth ₹200 crore.
As part of this expansion, Shri Govindan announced that ICT and IT-enabled services, electronic security systems, building management systems, and audio-visual solutions will be offered under one umbrella, positioning Kerala Vision as a one-stop solution provider for both residential and corporate customers.The Vision Summit served as a platform to deliberate on emerging opportunities in the digital era and to equip entrepreneurs with advanced knowledge and insights.
