Adidas first entered India in 1989 through a license agreement with Bata. The company’s second entry into India was in 1996 through a joint venture with Magnum International Trading Company Ltd. In 2016, Adidas received approval from the Indian government to open 100 percent foreign-owned stores. The very first Adidas flagship in the country was opened in the capital, New Delhi, in 2021.
