Bengaluru Ranks Low in Savills' Matcha Index

Bengaluru Ranks Low in Savills' Matcha Index

The Savills Matcha Index is a part of the bigger Tech Cities Index that measures how good a city is for tech workers.

It looks at things like cafés and the prices of matcha lattes to see how well a city mixes work and lifestyle.

Cities like Tokyo, London, and Seoul are at the top because they have good café cultures.

Bengaluru, which is known for its tech industry, didn't rank very high because it doesn't have enough cafés and the options for matcha are limited.

The index shows that having good places to work and relax outside the office is important for tech workers.

This could mean that cities like Bengaluru need to improve their café culture to attract and keep tech talent.
