The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Adidas has laid off about 50 percent of the staff at its India Tech Hub in Gurugram.
- Reports estimate around 350 or more of the hub's roughly 700 employees were affected, including software engineers, data scientists and data engineers.
- Employees were informed at a meeting on September 15, with some dismissed the same day and others asked to work until December while handing over their work.
- Staff in the second group can seek other roles within the company, and those without a new role by December 15 will have their last working day then.
- The layoffs matter because the Gurugram hub is one of Adidas's global tech centres and the company has been expanding in India, including opening a business services centre in Chennai in 2024.
What to watch next
- Confirmation from Adidas of the exact number of employees affected and details of severance, notice pay and placement support.
- Whether the second group of employees finds internal roles before the December 15 deadline.
- Any impact of the restructuring on Adidas's other India operations, such as the Chennai business services centre.
