From the time I stepped in Bangalore, I had encountered many mallus in public spaces. In pubs, jostling down Brigade Road, in bars, in shops, at interviews, in trains, etc.

When we look at the Malayalee working in Bangalore, we wonder the jobs they do here. In my little experience I have found them in these professions.

1) Nurses and budding up nurses ( We can instantly find them as they talk in Malayalam. And in between they will have some talk related to their practice, etc) In hospitals, our mallu sisters are easily identifiable. they mostly talk in malayalam. I don’t see this as a professional behavior.
2) Supermarkets ( There are many supermarkets owned by mallus Eg, Top In Town, at Cambridge Layout) These places also employ many Keralites, especially in delivery services. Most of these shops are owned by people from Malapuram side
3) Bakeries ( These fellows have taken over most of the bakeries, except for few Iyengar bakeries
4) Mobile shops ( This is the latest trend. Many small both sized shops are owned by these fellas).
5) Hotels ( How can we forget the wide spread hotel chains, such as Empire, Imperial, Paramount, etc)
6) Ayurvedic Centers ( Around Indira Nagar locality there are more than a dozen of Ayurvedic treatment and massage centers.
7) IT and ITES factories: Take any office or IT or content development office, and you’ll see mallus in all  hierarchy.
8) Garment Factories:- I’m not sure of how many Malayalee ladies are working in these factories. An acquitance of mine once said there are many working in these garment production houses. I know one thing for sure, the working time is tone, tedious and pay is minimal.
