Kochi has traded across the Arabian Sea for centuries - the spice warehouses of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry tell that story - and today it is Kerala's commercial capital, running a major port, marine exports, shipbuilding and the Infopark IT campus. The state's deep Gulf diaspora gives the city an unusually international financial life.
