Though Aluppikakka laid the foundation of Keyi family it was his nephew Moosakakka, responsible for strengthening and fortifying and increasing the wealth of his predecessor. When Mysorian interlude began it evaded alarm among the Hindu families because they had to face forcible conversion. Moosakakka, a friend of British, came to the rescue of the Rajas and the Brahmins. Chirakkal Raja who took refuge in Thalassery Sri Ramaswamy temple along with several Brahmin families and Hindu families were taken in Pathemars and small ships to Travancore. Travancore Maharaja gave them asylum.
The act of Moosakaka held him in high esteem. After the Tipu’s invasion the trade decreased and the business which Moosakaka started with the help of his uncle failed. He left Thalassery to Venad to seek the help of Maharaja. The king greeted him very honestly and gave him financial help. With the king’s help he again started business. His business flourished and he returned with gifts and asked the Maharaja to take back the money he had given him. The king declined happily and gave him all facilities to trade in his kingdom. He also gave him teakwood for the construction of a mosque in Thalassery where he understood his intention. In Aleppy, for the smooth transporting of his merchandise Moosakaka constructed a canal, which is known as "Moosakaka canal" and the places where he lived came to be known as "Moosakaka Valap".
With immense wealth he returned to Thalassery constructed a big warehouse designed similar to warehouses in Bombay. The front portion of this warehouse was ornamented with glass. It eventually came to be called Kannadi Pandikasala, which exists even today.
With the fall of Tipu Sultan, Malabar came under the suzerainty of British but the Keyis dominance in trade increased considerably. With British help, Moosakaka established trade relations with London, Paris and Amsterdam. He was also a contractor to the company for supplying essential commodities.
Like his illustrious uncle he also constructed a beautiful mosque in Thalassery in the 'Karimbin-odam' (Sugarcane plantation) formerly belonged to the Dutch, occupied by the British and later purchased by Moosakaka. Odam means 'garden' in Dutch language. Since it was constructed in Odam the mosque came to be called Odathil Palli, meaning 'mosque in Odam'. The mosque had copper plate roofing and golden dome in the minor and share the scenic features as the ones noted in the Brahmonical tradition. There was opposition in laying the dome - a privilege enjoyed by the temples so Zamorin gave speed permission to lay the domes and the minaret. It highlights the communal harmony that prevailed in those days and the policy of enlightened toleration followed by the Kerala rulers. All the Muslims can offer prayers but in the Kabaristan (graveyard adjacent to the mosque) only the dead bodies of the Keyis, their wives and children are buried.
Moosakaka became mediator in the war between British and the Arakkal family, the only Muslim ruling dynasty in Kerala. The Raja accepted the rule of British and the Company asked the Raja to pay 1,000,000 rupees as war indemnity. The Raja failed to pay the money and Moosakaka paid the money for Raja and later recovered from the revenues which were hypothecated to him. In appreciation the Raja gave consent for marriage of a beebi (lady) of his family with Ussenkutty, a nephew of Moosakaka.
The title Elaya was conferred on the consort as per custom guest like the Elaya Koyil Thampuran confers on the consort in Travancore. This nobleman died in 1806 and was buried in his own mosque, the Odathilpalli, and a mausoleum is erected on his grave.
