Celebrating Kerala's Heritage through Art and Education

We have chosen the art forms of Chakyarkooth, Theyyam, Ottamthullal and Kathakali to guide and educate us through managing mental health, interpersonal interactions amongst kids and between them and the adults, understand money management etc. etc. Only a brand that is a part of the ethos of any society or social structure can understand the nuances of its art forms and amplify its ability to tell a story, entertain, educate. The blending of music, mythology and minds watching will make our attempt lovable across audiences throughout the state. From a marketing perspective, it’s a global showcase of how a brand is embedded at the core of Culture to engage people of a region. This is the Gods’ Own Country, is a global favourite of tourists and for Federal Bank.”
