Adidas Announces Workforce Reduction at Gurugram Tech Hub Amid Restructuring
Adidas has initiated layoffs at its India Tech Hub in Gurugram, affecting software engineers, data scientists, and data engineers. Reports estimate around 300 to 350 employees, roughly 20 to 50 percent of the 700-strong workforce, are impacted, though Adidas states the figure is less than 20 percent. The company cited the need to align its operating model with evolving business demands and simplify its organisation. Affected employees were informed during a September 15 town hall and divided into groups with staggered exit timelines. Adidas affirmed India remains a strategic market and pledged support for those impacted.
