GOKYO Opens 2nd Mumbai Store, Expands in Outdoor Apparel Market

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on December 3, 2024

Gokyo, a rising brand in India’s outdoor apparel and gear industry, has opened its second Mumbai store in Prabhadevi, near Siddhivinayak Temple. This expansion follows strong customer demand, especially online, and aligns with Gokyo’s plans to secure venture capital funding for further growth.

Gokyo’s Co-founder, Venkatesh Maheshwari, emphasized the brand’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of Indian explorers and travelers who seek high-quality, culturally inspired outdoor gear. “Our expansion reflects our commitment to honoring the resilience of the outdoors and the spirit of the people who navigate them,” he shared.

The new store in South Mumbai represents an exciting opportunity to bring Gokyo’s vision closer to a wider audience. By offering products that combine durability, functionality, and cultural essence, the brand aims to inspire and equip modern adventurers while celebrating the beauty of outdoor exploration.

The Siddhivinayak store features Gokyo's Signature Series - Explorer, Alpine, and Sherpa—designed for diverse climates and altitudes. Offering high-performance apparel and accessories blending style and functionality, Gokyo ensures adventurers are equipped for any journey with confidence.

Over 18 months, Gokyo’s product line was shaped by the founder's global adventures, including summits of Mt. Everest, Manaslu, Aconcagua, Elbrus, and Kilimanjaro. “Each product solves a need I experienced, with careful attention to weight and volume,” said Co-founder Venki.

Gokyo is redefining adventure apparel in India and has invited investors to join its mission. The Mumbai store marks the beginning of its expansion, with plans to bring the spirit of the Himalayas to adventurers across the country.

Named after the iconic Gokyo Ri peak, renowned for its stunning views of the Everest region, Gokyo’s identity is deeply inspired by the enduring spirit of the Sherpa community and the serene beauty of Gokyo Lake. This essence of resilience and tranquility drives the brand’s mission to provide adventurers with gear that reflects both the challenges and the beauty of the great outdoors.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines Announce New Codeshare and Loyalty Partnership

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on November 23, 2025

Etihad Airways and Vietnam Airlines have taken their partnership forward with the launch of a new codeshare agreement. This move builds on Etihad’s recently introduced Abu Dhabi–Hanoi service, creating smoother travel options between the UAE and Vietnam.

With this partnership, Etihad guests can now book onward journeys to major domestic destinations in Vietnam as well as popular cities across Asia, all on a single ticket. Travellers also benefit from one check-in and automatic baggage transfer, making Abu Dhabi an easy connection point to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways, said: "This partnership with Vietnam Airlines delivers significant value to our guests by unlocking access to some of Asia's most dynamic and popular destinations. Our new Abu Dhabi-Hanoi service has been warmly received, and this codeshare agreement transforms it into a gateway to Vietnam's most exciting cities. Combined with our frequent flyer partnership, which enables loyalty members of both airlines to earn and redeem miles across our combined global networks, this collaboration underscores our commitment to providing our guests with greater flexibility, broader reach, and superior travel experiences."

From Vietnam Airlines’ perspective, this collaboration builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier. Nguyen Quang Trung, Director of Corporate Planning and Development, Vietnam Airlines, said: “Vietnam Airlines is pleased to advance our partnership with Etihad Airways through this new codeshare agreement, following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2024. The collaboration offers seamless access to Etihad’s network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, while allowing more travellers to experience Vietnam Airlines’ signature warmth and hospitality. Together with our expanded frequent-flyer partnership, this agreement enhances convenience, broadens destination choices, and strengthens tourism and economic ties between Vietnam and the UAE.”

The rollout of the codeshare will take place in phases. As it expands, passengers of Vietnam Airlines will gain access to six destinations beyond Abu Dhabi, Athens, Addis Ababa, Bahrain, Muscat, Cairo, and Istanbul, opening up a wider network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa through Etihad’s strong connectivity.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines already have a frequent flyer partnership in place. Launched in July 2025, it allows Etihad Guest and Lotus Miles members to earn and redeem miles across both airlines’ networks. This loyalty integration adds more value to the newly announced codeshare, giving travellers broader options and smoother travel experiences.
