TESH Homes · Proposed initiative

Turning homes into opportunity.

Unutilized or underutilized houses in Kerala

1.4 million

Kerala has around 1.4 million unutilized or underutilized houses. TESH Homes is a proposed initiative to transform suitable existing homes into TSB and TESH Homes — a distributed network of international guest houses, training centres and activity centres connecting tourism, practical learning and youth entrepreneurship.

Proposed home types

Two ways a home can serve

Each proposed TESH Home would connect tourism, practical learning and community life.
