U need to be exceptionally good if u have to do business in kerala. Keralites seems to work well only outside the state. Kerala is a state of paradox in many ways. Its a fact that many people working outside the state are actually paid less than what they would have got if they worked in kerala. This is mostly true in the lower wage groups. Ask any entreprise in kerala. It really faces a shortage of people who are actually willing to work. The biggest problem kerala faces is that its employable workforce is outside the state. This a main reason for the poor work culture in the state.
