Two views of Chennai's economy: the registered/startup layer and the street-level business fabric, with the largest tracked employers.
Chennai's economy has rare breadth: technology, retail and manufacturing each score 10/10, with healthcare and education close behind at 9/10. Logistics, sustainability and sports add a second tier, making the city less dependent on any single engine.
