Adobe Opens Seventh India Campus as AI Strategy Deepens
Adobe inaugurated a new office campus in Noida's Sector 129, bringing its India footprint to seven locations. The facility will house more than 700 employees across engineering, product development, and customer operations.
India has become Adobe's largest employee base outside the United States, with more than 8,000 workers across the country. Teams here contribute to over one-third of the company's global innovation initiatives, according to Adobe.
Strategic Expansion Around AI
The Noida campus opening signals Adobe's bet on India as a center for AI-driven product development. Abhigyan Modi, Country Manager for Adobe India, said the office "marks an important milestone in our continued focus on driving innovation from India" as the company integrates AI into its core products.
Adobe first established operations in India in 1997 with an engineering and research center. The company has steadily expanded since, with India now central to its AI for Product Development initiatives.
Recent India Initiatives
Adobe launched a student program earlier this year offering free access to Generative AI and LLM-powered tools including Firefly, Photoshop, and Acrobat to students at accredited institutions across India.
The company also partnered with telecom operator Airtel to provide Adobe Express Premium free to nearly 360 million Airtel users. The move expands access to design tools for individuals and small businesses across the country.
India's Role in Tech Investment
Adobe's expansion reflects broader confidence in India's technology sector. Multinational companies increasingly view the country as a source of AI research talent, engineering capability, and product development resources.
The Noida campus underscores India's position as a destination for innovation work, not just support functions. For product development professionals, this signals where major software companies are concentrating next-generation work.
