Testimonials
Last 16+ years in Decathlon have been full of adventures & experiences in different roles & countries. From Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Vietnam. I'm now happy to be back in India as the Production Director since July 2021.
Decathlon is my second home, with a lot of memories, support, and successes, with many more victories in the years to come. A strong development plan and support from my ecosystem have been the fuel to my journey.
I love the freedom to take initiative in Decathlon, the trust placed in every teammate. And of course, the people. The team spirit, the energy, the support, it’s like being part of a big sports family that always has your back.
