Roots & Heritage
The Kunjunny Name
From Kerala
to Aotearoa.
The Kunjunny name carries its roots in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala — where Anil studied Computer Science and Engineering before a journey spanning Germany, Japan, the United States, and finally New Zealand.
The logo tells this story: a Kerala palm and a New Zealand silver fern, growing together under the same sun. Two cultures. One family. A life shaped by movement, curiosity, and the courage to build something new wherever you land.
