Canada-based athletic apparel company Lululemon Athletica has announced the launch of a technology development centre in Bengaluru, India to expand its technological capabilities and infrastructure to support global growth. The company’s first technology centre outside North America, the India Technology Hub will help further its strategic growth plan.

Close to 250 technologists will be hired for the centre by 2022. It will boost innovation at Lululemon across marketing technology stack, data science, machine learning and full-stack cloud engineering to support merchandise planning, product and location information management, trade and network planning functions, the firm said in a statement, according to media reports.

"Acquiring and nurturing best-in-class technologists is essential to our global growth strategy focused on product innovation, omni guest experiences and market expansion," said Calvin McDonald, CEO, Lululemon. "The opening of our India Technology Hub will help further our strategic growth plan with technology, enabling both our people and our guest experience as we expand to serve new guests across the globe."

The company said it is taking the required health and safety precautions in preparing for the launch of the centre that will commence operations by August 2021.
