Two views of Kochi's economy: the registered/startup layer and the street-level business fabric, with the largest tracked employers.
Kochi is not a one-sector town. Technology scores 10/10, while retail, healthcare and manufacturing each reach 9/10; logistics, tourism and education add breadth. Recent terminal and warehousing investment headlines reinforce its mix of digital and physical commerce.
