Time Out Market, the globally acclaimed food and cultural market concept, is all set to make its India debut at 5 Worldmark in Aerocity, New Delhi. Announced by Bharti Real Estate, the real estate arm of Bharti Enterprises and owner of the Worldmark brand, this marks a significant addition to the country’s hospitality and retail landscape. The launch is planned for the second half of 2026.

Spanning approximately 24,500 square feet, Time Out Market Delhi will house 11 kitchens, two full-service bars, a private events room, a stage for live performances, and seating for around 500 guests. The space is designed to bring together the city’s leading chefs, restaurants, bars, and cultural experiences under one roof, offering visitors a curated taste of what Delhi has to offer.

Globally, active Time Out Markets operate in Lisbon, New York (Dumbo & Union Square), Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Dubai, Cape Town, Porto, Barcelona, Bahrain, and Osaka. With its entry into India, the brand adds New Delhi to its growing international portfolio of landmark destinations.

Curation at Time Out Market Delhi will focus on craft, legitimacy, and cultural relevance. The aim is to showcase chefs and concepts that truly define the city’s food identity. From award-winning chefs and established institutions to emerging talent and local favourites, the platform will bring together a diverse mix of culinary and cultural voices. It also presents a valuable opportunity for restaurateurs to be part of a globally recognised brand that celebrates the best of each city it enters.

The new market will be part of the upcoming phase of Worldmark’s development, which spans about 17 million square feet and is positioned as a leading Global Business District in the country.

Galentine’s, Rewritten: Five Trips, Five Moods, One Unbreakable Girl Code

Galentine’s, Rewritten: Five Trips, Five Moods, One Unbreakable Girl Code

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on February 14, 2026

Flowers wilt. Chocolates disappear. But the friendships that have survived bad haircuts, questionable exes and group chats that should never see daylight? Those deserve something bigger. This is Galentine’s with altitude, adrenaline, spa robes and shared stories you’ll retell for years. Here are five destinations, five moods and one unbreakable girl code.

Ras Al Khaimah: For the Friends Who Push You to New Heights

For the thrill-seekers in the group, Ras Al Khaimah is pure playground energy. Start at Jebel Jais, the UAE’s highest peak, where crisp air and sweeping views set the tone. Then comes the ultimate bonding test, the world’s longest zipline, where you’ll soar at speeds of nearly 120 km/h, screaming, laughing and questioning your life choices together.

After the adrenaline rush, refuel at 1484 by Puro, the UAE’s highest restaurant. Share plates, replay the zipline footage in slow motion and collectively agree that yes, you were incredibly brave.

Galentine’s takeaway: Trust is letting your best friend strap you into a harness and promising it’s safe.

Phulay Bay, Krabi: A Vow Renewal, But Make It Friendship

At Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, stillness becomes the shared language. Begin mornings with sunrise yoga overlooking the Andaman Sea. Spend afternoons drifting between spa rituals and barefoot beach picnics. Snorkel over coral gardens or simply exist in that rare, peaceful silence only true friendship allows.

As dusk falls, gather for a candlelit dinner by the ocean. No grand declarations required, just a quiet promise to keep choosing each other, no matter where life leads.

image

Galentine’s takeaway: Romance is optional. Loyalty is not.

Tokyo Skytree: Because You’ve Come Too Far to Stay Grounded

Some friendships are built on ambition and evolution. At Tokyo Skytree, ascend above the city and watch Tokyo stretch endlessly below. It’s the kind of place that invites reflection, on hostel dorm days, first jobs and every chaotic chapter in between.

Mark the moment with dinner at Sky Restaurant 634 (Musashi). Raise a toast to growth, grit and the women who have witnessed every version of you and stayed.

image

Galentine’s takeaway: Elevation hits differently when shared.

Kenya: The OG Crew and the Big Five

For the friends who’ve known you since before the glow-ups, Kenya offers something raw and unforgettable. Picture sunrise game drives in Maasai Mara, scanning the horizon for lions, wrapped in blankets and disbelief. In Amboseli National Park, elephants cross your path with Mount Kilimanjaro standing impossibly still behind them.

Mornings begin with strong Kenyan coffee. Afternoons dissolve into bush lunches and golden-hour sundowners. Safari strips away distractions, it’s just land, sky and the women who’ve seen every version of you.

image

Galentine’s takeaway: The real luxury isn’t the lodge. It’s the history you share.

Seychelles: Soft Life, Strong Friendships

For the beach-loving crew, Seychelles is pure soft life energy. Lounge on Anse Lazio or Anse Intendance, where powdery sand meets impossibly blue waters. Wander through Vallée de Mai beneath ancient palms and discover the iconic Coco de Mer.

Snorkel at Anse Source d'Argent, hop on a catamaran between islands and end the day with barefoot dinners under the stars. No emails. No rush. Just time, the rarest luxury of all.

image

Galentine’s takeaway: Some friendships don’t need adventure. They just need turquoise water and time.

The Twist

Galentine’s isn’t about replacing romance, it’s about honouring the friendships that often last the longest. These trips are affirmations: of bravery, of loyalty, of choosing each other again and again.

This year, skip the clichés. Book the flight. Plan the adventure. Order the extra dessert.

Because girl code? That’s forever.
