Decathlon Sports India’s Post

“My love for sports was ignited in my childhood by watching the 2003 Cricket World Cup. This passion for sports seamlessly blends with my work at Decathlon, combining passion for technology and love for sports to help build a better experience for our users.” “I joined Decathlon in 2018 as an SAP Technical Consultant. I was pleasantly surprised to see that we have our own full-fledged IT team dedicated to managing our entire ecosystem of stores and E-Commerce platforms. Over the years, my career grew alongside my passion for technology and sports.” “My journey has been marked by a strong sense of autonomy and trust. Decathlon’s leaders and teammates empower each other, providing the confidence to take on responsibility and the flexibility to make mistakes and learn from them. This trust and shared passion is what makes me most proud to work at Decathlon.” “Throughout my career at Decathlon, I’ve taken on several roles. In 2022, I became the team leader for the SAP Technical team in India, a global project responsible for Decathlon’s SAP infrastructure. Then in 2024, I took on an even broader role as the Head of Cloud Platform Engineering and the SAP platform team, leading the entire infrastructure and platform for Indian applications within the Decathlon ecosystem.” “Looking back, I cherish the camaraderie we built together, especially with early morning sports sessions with our product and business teams. These experiences remind me how sports can bring everyone together, creating strong bonds that make it easier to collaborate professionally." "This blend of professional growth, personal passion, and a vibrant supportive culture defines my ongoing journey at Decathlon.” - Avichal Bhatnagar, Head of Cloud Platform Engineering, Decathlon India.
