I want to access the index of the outermost ng-repeat.
<div ng-repeat="">
<div ng-repeat="">
<div ng-repeat="">
//I want to get the $index of outer ng-repeat here
</div>
</div>
</div>

Use ng-init
to set the outer index:
<div ng-repeat="" ng-init="outerIndex = $index">
Then you can use outerIndex
in the other scopes.
Angular documentation has this example specifically
A nice clean way to do this is with ng-init
<div ng-repeat="" ng-init="indxFirst = $index">
<div ng-repeat="" ng-init="indxSecond = $index">
<div ng-repeat="">
//the current index $index
//indxFirst is your the parent most index
<div ng-click="myClick(indxFirst)">Check most outer parent index</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
So, for example I added a click function and passed it inside the inner most repeat, and in the controller you would see it passed here like :
$scope.myClick = function(index){
console.log("parent most index is", index);
};
Can use it however you like, this is just an example.
