The Beginning
IMark Valley – The Creators Village
High in the Western Ghats, where ancient forests meet rolling mountain ranges and clouds move slowly across the mountain, a quiet sanctuary took shape.
At nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, in the Attapadi Hills of Kerala, a private hilltop was chosen—not to build quickly, but to build carefully. Trees were planted. Paths were softened. Spaces were created for staying, working, walking, healing, learning, and reflection.
Shine Gopal – The founder
The valley is a visionary project initiated by Shine Gopal, founder of IMark Global and Marketnext, who has spent over two decades working across international markets in technology, venture development, and cross-border collaboration. During the pandemic, he chose to pause—stepping away from constant movement to return to space, nature, and thoughtful creation.
From that pause, IMark Valley emerged.
2021 : The Journey Was Began
People arrive at IMark Valley in different ways—to stay and work deeply, to learn and seek guidance, or to join curated retreats focused on reflection, healing, and renewal. Beyond the physical space, the valley is held by a wider global community, where practitioners and collaborators engage through residencies, mentorship, and annual programs—supporting learning, growth, and cross-border collaboration.
