  "account": "About 15 years ago, three individuals found themselves in someone else's office, working without a proper workspace. Joe Kuncharia, the founder of AXL Systems, recounted this humble beginning. Today, the company employs over 150 people and has expanded its operations to include the construction of drones for the Indian Army and RFID-based checkout systems at Madison Square Garden in New York. Unlike other tech hubs like Bengaluru or Pune, AXL Systems started in Kerala, with no dedicated office space. The founders simply sought a location where everyone could work together, and they eventually found a suitable spot in Kochi.",
