Publicly documented adidas GCC-type presence in India is recent and modest: the Gurugram Tech Hub (marketing + engineering) opened 2021 with ~350 staff, and adidas' first formally named GCC (finance/procurement GBS) opened only mid-2024 in Chennai with 700-seat capacity. No independently verifiable, large-scale GCC facility could be confirmed for Bengaluru specifically.
