Karuvanchal, Kerala: Many young talents are seeking opportunities abroad. But, three enterprising friends from Kerala have chosen a different path. The path that they have chosen is the one rooted in their homeland, driven by innovation, and committed to serving their community. Their methodology of shared career is a model for many youngsters to come together and create big enterprises.
Nikson Joseph, Akhil Mathew, and Jibin Varghese, the dynamic trio behind Flymate Tours & Travels, have transformed their shared dream into a fast-growing travel enterprise with branches in Karuvanchal, Iritty, and Poovam.
What began as a passion project has quickly earned a reputation for reliability, professionalism, and customer-centric service. Flymate Tours & Travels has carved a niche in the highly competitive travel and tourism industry by offering comprehensive solutions under one roof. From foreign tour packages to visa support, passport assistance, and UAE attestation, the firm is helping clients turn their travel dreams into seamless realities.
“We wanted to make international travel accessible and affordable to people in our own community,” says Akhil Mathew. “Instead of watching everyone fly out for better prospects, we thought, why not bring the world to our people?”
Their establishment has particularly gained recognition for its expertly curated foreign tour packages, which include best-value deals to destinations such as Canada, London, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Germany, Israel, Italy, and Malta. Whether clients are looking for a honeymoon package, a family vacation, or a student travel plan, Flymate ensures a hassle-free experience; from air ticket booking to guided tours.
Their service portfolio is extensive:
- Tour Operations to both domestic and international destinations
- Air Ticketing with access to special fares
- Visa Services for tourists, students, and professionals
- Passport Assistance for new and renewal cases
- Travel Insurance to ensure journey protection
- UAE Attestation for document verification and processing
With operations based out of their head office in Karuvanchal (Opp. Little Flower Church), the team ensures a walk-in experience for locals and also offers telephonic support through +91 8281 222 035, operating between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
Their motto, “നിങ്ങളുടെ സ്വപ്നയാത്രകൾ ഇനി ഞങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം!” (Your dream journeys, now with us), encapsulates the heart of their service; to be more than a travel agency, but a dependable partner in every traveller’s journey.
As Flymate Tours & Travels continues to grow, it stands as a shining example of homegrown entrepreneurship, proving that innovation, determination, and a deep connection to one’s roots can create success stories that inspire and impact.
Staying Back to Build Forward: A Salute to the Young Innovators of Our Land
This is a role model for young visionaries and talents who choose not to flee, but to stay and shape the future of their state. These are the unsung heroes who see opportunity in their soil, potential in their people, and innovation as a path to uplift their communities. This is not just a business; it’s a sentiment.
“We believe in our state. We believe in its people. We believe that dreams can be realized right here.” Across Kerala and beyond, more young entrepreneurs are choosing the path of purpose over the path of escape. They’re starting farms, launching startups, reviving traditional arts, and digitizing local services.
They’re working in tourism, technology, wellness, education, and social change. And in doing so, they are creating jobs, empowering communities, and redefining what it means to be successful. While there’s nothing wrong in seeking opportunity abroad, it is equally important to celebrate those who plant their flags locally, especially in a time when brain drain threatens to hollow out the creative and entrepreneurial core of our communities.
These young innovators are not just building businesses; they are building hope. They show us that innovation is not the privilege of metropolitan cities or foreign lands. It is alive in every village, every town, and every determined heart that refuses to give up on home.
As a society, we owe it to them to support, invest, and celebrate their efforts. We must create ecosystems that nurture local talent and encourage those with ideas to take the bold step forward; right here, where their roots are.
To every youngster who stayed back to build instead of leaving to search:
You are the real changemakers. You are the architects of a brighter, self-reliant future. And you deserve to be celebrated. We Salute You!
