Southlake-based Logile Inc. plans to establish a subsidiary in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India in the second quarter this year, marking “a major milestone” in its global growth. Logile said the subsidiary reinforces its commitment to cutting-edge innovation, empowering retailers, and fostering job creation in one of India’s fastest-emerging technology hubs.

“We’re excited to expand our global footprint with the launch of our subsidiary in India,” founder and CEO Purna Mishra said in a statement. “Bhubaneswar’s thriving technology ecosystem, highly skilled talent, and strategic location make it the ideal destination for innovation. This move will not only enhance our ability to deliver world-class solutions but will also create meaningful career opportunities for professionals eager to shape the future of retail technology.”

Logile is a global leader in AI-powered connected workforce solutions for the retail industry.

In 2022, Logile launched a gig-style scheduling system for retail workers.

That solution enables retailers to utilize their workforce more fully in two key ways—with “gig-status associates” on their company staffs, supplemented by labor from outside “crowdsourcing” to cover additional staffing needs.

“We see a real opportunity for retailers to change the game,” Mishra said in 2022.

The company said that by establishing a presence in Bhubaneswar, Logile is poised to accelerate advancements in AI-driven workforce and operational efficiency solutions. Bhubaneswar is the capital and the largest city of the state of Odisha in southeastern India.

Its team based in India will serve as a hub for research and development, software engineering, customer support, and implementation services — ensuring that businesses worldwide continue to benefit from Logile’s industry-leading technology, the company said.

Logile said its AI-powered platform is transforming the retail landscape by revolutionizing store-level planning, scheduling, and execution. And, it said, by enabling retailers to make smarter, data-driven operational decisions, the company’s solutions enhance efficiency, workforce engagement, and customer satisfaction, delivering measurable business impact.

Expanding access to talent

Logile said that as part of its investment in Bhubaneswar, it’s actively recruiting top-tier professionals to develop next-generation AI-driven software solutions and provide outstanding customer support across six continents.

The company said that even though tier-I cities in India serve as major hubs for IT giants with many employees, smaller software companies often face challenges in attracting and retaining a stable workforce in these overburdened locations. Logile said its expansion aligns with its long-term vision of investing in high-potential Tier-II cities, where robust infrastructure, premier educational institutions — including IITs, NITs and IIMs — and a vast technical talent pool converge.

According to Logile, Bhubaneswar’s strategic location as a top Tier-II city provides seamless access to top talent from Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Eastern Uttar Pradesh—all within a short flight or a high-speed Vande Bharat train journey.

This region produces nearly 45% of India’s skilled graduates, making it a powerhouse of technological expertise, the company said.
