About adidas India Technology Centre
adidas' India Technology Centre in Noida is a young but fast-growing sportswear retail technology GCC that reflects adidas' strategic bet on direct-to-consumer digital commerce as the centrepiece of its growth strategy. Established in 2019, the Noida centre has grown to approximately 1,500 engineers who work on adidas.com e-commerce platform features, supply chain data science, product personalisation AI, and digital commerce analytics. The centre's product ownership over the personalisation engine deployed on adidas.com's direct-to-consumer platform gives India engineers accountability for a consumer-facing capability reaching millions of shoppers globally.
The most strategically important engineering work at adidas India is the supply chain intelligence platform, which uses machine learning to forecast demand for adidas' vast product catalogue across global markets and retail channels. adidas sells tens of millions of pairs of shoes and apparel items annually through thousands of wholesale accounts and its own e-commerce and retail channels, creating a demand forecasting problem of extraordinary complexity. India data scientists are building models that predict regional demand by style, colour, and size, feeding the inventory allocation and production planning systems that determine which products reach which markets.
adidas India targets 2,000 engineers by 2027, with growth in digital commerce engineering and supply chain AI. The Sector 62 campus in Noida's IT corridor provides solid infrastructure in Delhi NCR's rapidly developing technology hub, and adidas' powerful global brand identity — connecting with sport, culture, and sustainability — creates an aspirational employer identity for digital commerce and analytics professionals who want to work with one of the world's most iconic consumer brands.
