Ruling the skies for 45 years, Global Aviation Services commenced with the journey of Founder H K Vithalani
Hargovind & Indira Vithalani with their daughters Jalpa & Toral As an eager 18-year-old, Hargovind Vithalani began working for a jewellery store in Kalbadevi and learnt the ropes of the business very early. His father Karsandas Vithalani served in the community Swami Narayan temple as an accountant for 45 years. HK Vithalani started his journey rooted in the excellent upbringing he inherited. HK soon had his own costume jewellery business that started operations from a tiny room that had him working as the designer, production manager, export head and everything else in between. With a penchant for entrepreneurial success and refined creative sensibilities, he was well on his way to become the country's largest exporter of costume jewellery with clients like Harrods and Macy's. His social outreach and dedication earned him the Chairmanship of the Plastics Export Promotion Council of India (PLEXCONCIL). As exporter, Vithalani was always shipping large volumes of jewellery to clients around the world. Looking at his hard work, determination and professionalism, Vithalani was offered the GSSA for Kuwait Airways in Bangalore in 1975. From being a good customer to the airlines, his international standards of excellence transformed him into a partner!
