Logile Launches Global AI Innovation Center in Bhubaneswar, India to Drive Next-Generation Retail Intelligence and Talent Development

Logile, Inc., a global leader in AI-powered Connected Workforce solutions for retailers, has officially launched its Global AI Innovation Center in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, marking a major step in its mission to advance intelligent retail through cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The new hub underscores Bhubaneswar’s growing role as a key technology and innovation center in India and reflects Logile’s long-term commitment to building transformative AI capabilities in collaboration with local talent and ecosystems. The center will serve as a focal point for developing next-generation AI systems, particularly agentic AI and generative AI interfaces designed to address complex challenges across retail operations. These include demand forecasting, labor planning, task execution, inventory replenishment, shrink reduction, and fresh food production optimization. The goal is to create intelligent agents that can reason like planners, act like operators, and communicate like teammates—working seamlessly alongside human employees across store floors and corporate offices. Purna Mishra, Founder and CEO of Logile, emphasized the human-centered vision behind the expansion. “We’re not just embedding AI in retail; we’re designing autonomous retail agents that can learn, adapt, and collaborate in real time,” Mishra said. “Agentic AI combined with generative AI-powered interactions is the foundation of our strategy. We’re excited to scale innovation in one of India’s most dynamic and forward-thinking communities. True progress comes not just from technology, but from the people and communities who bring it to life.” The Bhubaneswar center will drive innovation in AI and machine learning, with a focus on agentic system design, generative AI user experience, cloud-native engineering, DevOps, and product leadership. Logile plans to grow its local workforce significantly through 2026, creating strategic roles across these domains. The company is also forging strong partnerships with local universities and technical institutes to support joint research, mentorship programs, and internship pipelines, helping to cultivate a robust talent pipeline for India’s tech future. Bhubaneswar’s strategic position as a Tier II city offers access to a vast pool of skilled graduates from Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh—many within a short flight or high-speed rail connection. The region produces nearly 45% of India’s skilled graduates, making it a critical hub for high-tech development. The Odisha government has welcomed Logile’s investment, with Dr. Mukesh Mahaling, Hon’ble Minister of Electronics and IT, highlighting the state’s AI-first vision and encouraging global technology leaders to join in shaping the region’s transformation. “Logile was built to serve people—from the store associate managing daily tasks to the engineers designing the future,” Mishra added. “That’s why Bhubaneswar matters. It’s not just a location; it’s where we’re investing in exceptional talent, building strong communities, and creating lasting innovation partnerships rooted in the belief that people are the true drivers of progress.” For more information on career opportunities at the Logile AI Innovation Center in Bhubaneswar, visit https://www.logile.com/about/careers.
