Kazhakuttom is an IT and residential area of Trivandrum city,the capital and largest metropolitan of the Indian state of Kerala. Kazhakuttom gained in significance because of its proximity to the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, the Kerala Technopark and the Trivandrum International Stadium. The area around the Technopark is known as New Trivandrum. Kazhakuttom contributes 85% of IT exports from Kerala. Kazhakuttom is known for its Agraharam and Mahadeva temples.

Kazhakuttom is a Legislative Assembly constituency, represented by Kadakampally Surendran.[1] Kazhakuttom is a ward under the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation.[2]

History

Kazhakuttom was the centre of power for Kazhakuttathu Ugran Pillai,{{citation needed|date=April 2012}} who was prominent among the Ettuveetil Pillamar (Pillais from Eight Houses) who rebelled against Travancore King Marthanda Varma in the late 18th century. After defeating Pillai, Varma destroyed his palace and replaced it with a pond. To redeem himself, he built a temple to Krishna nearby. Both the pond and the temple survive. The Kazhakuttom Mahadeva Temple is believed{{by whom|date=April 2012}} to be around 1000 years old.

Kazhakuttom later became the heart of the IT sector of Thiruvananthapuram hosting the Technopark as well as the offices of many multinational companies along the IT corridor.

Apart from the Technopark, Sainik School of Kerala state is also located at Kazhakootam.
