Hyve is a home-grown Indian activewear and sportswear brand, currently direct-to-consumer (online), built for how India actually moves — engineered for Indian conditions like heat, humidity, and everyday use. Hyve designs performance apparel and accessories across Cricket, Football, Running, Cycling, Fitness, and other sports, along with custom team jerseys and uniforms for sports teams, clubs, schools, and corporates. As we expand into offline and B2B channels, we're looking for people who can get Hyve into large retail chains and build strong institutional/bulk business.

Backed by 100,000+ happy customers and a 4.75/5 rating, Hyve blends online D2C retail with offline and 3D customisation experiences, and is the Official Sportswear Partner of Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Our brand ethos, #BEEActive, is inspired by the bumblebee's spirit of persistence — and we're looking for people who bring the same energy to growing Hyve on the ground.
