Mumbai:
Adidas, the world’s second largest sports goods maker, may take a Rs 1,350 crore
hit after unearthing a massive commercial fraud in its Indian unit. The German
giant has already booked a negative impact of €125 million and warned it could
suffer a further €70 million loss barely a month after replacing the local
leadership team in India.
This makes
it one of the worst financial irregularities to surface in the Indian arm of any
MNC, and comes amid mounting concerns over corporate governance issues in the
country. TOI had first reported on March 27 that managing
director Subhinder Singh Prem and chief operating officer Vishnu Bhagat had
exited the local unit of Adidas, which also owns Reebok, after it plunged into
the red due to financial irregularities.
