Go Colors steps out in style with flagship splash on Linking Road
MUMBAI: If Mumbai needed a new fashion pit stop, Go Colors just dropped one with flair, fabric and a full dose of pop-culture charm. The bottomwear brand has opened its sprawling 2,400 sq ft flagship store on Bandra’s iconic Linking Road, its largest outlet among 64 stores in the city, signalling a bold next chapter in its retail expansion.
The launch was fronted by content creator and brand ambassador Prajakta Koli, whose MostlySane energy lit up the store as she explored the space, interacted with fans, and shared her favourite looks. The opening builds on Go Colors’ successful large-format debuts in Chennai and Bengaluru, cementing its growing ambition to redesign experiential retail for Indian women.
At a moment when women across the country are seeking comfort that doesn’t compromise style, Go Colors is sharply positioning itself as the foundation of the everyday wardrobe. Because when your bottoms fit right office hours, late-night drives, weekend brunches, airport dashes, family dinners everything else simply falls into place. And Go Colors is building an entire ecosystem around that truth.
The flagship store amplifies this philosophy with immersive zones, curated edits, dedicated category walls, spacious trial rooms and a layout designed for discovery. Shoppers can browse an expansive range of silhouettes, fabrics, colours and fits crafted for all age groups, body types and lifestyles, a hallmark of the brand’s inclusive DNA.
“Linking Road is where Mumbai shops to discover itself,” said Go Colors founder & CEO Gautam Saraogi. “After Chennai and Bangalore, this flagship is a natural next step. It reflects our long-term vision to build deeper, experience-led retail that makes our full range accessible to India’s diverse shoppers.”
The store also houses a dedicated display for the MostlySane limited-edition collection, co-created with Prajakta. Designed around individuality, comfort and expressive self-style, it mirrors the sensibilities of India’s digital-first generation. “Today’s woman wants clothing that moves with her life. This collection brings that belief to life,” added Go Colors CMO Vatsal Koolwal.
Prajakta echoed the sentiment, calling the store “inclusive, welcoming and built around what women actually need.”
With more than 800 exclusive stores across 200 plus cities, Go Colors has evolved far beyond its leggings legacy. It now owns a sharp niche: bottomwear done exceptionally well durable, versatile, fashion-forward and crafted for real, everyday India. The brand plans to maintain its momentum by opening 80–90 net new stores every year, powered by innovation, design and an elevated retail playbook.
With its Bandra flagship, Go Colors isn’t just expanding a retail footprint, it’s stitching itself deeper into the wardrobes, routines and self-expression of Indian women, one perfect fit at a time.

Boeing appoints Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering function
Seasoned finance leader to steer budgets and strategy across global centres
BENGALURU: Boeing’s finance cockpit has a new pilot, and he is no stranger to turbulence or transformation. Boeing has appointed Barun as head of FP&A for global engineering, placing him at the centre of financial strategy for its worldwide engineering and technology operations.
Based in Bengaluru, Barun steps into a role that is as expansive as it is critical. He will serve as the primary finance lead for Boeing’s Engineering and Technology Centers globally, working closely with executive leadership to shape financial decisions, manage complex budgets, and design scalable finance processes that support the company’s growing engineering footprint.
In a note announcing his move Barun said, “I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Boeing Global Engineering. This opportunity is incredibly meaningful to me not just from a professional standpoint, but also for what Boeing represents globally.” He added that he looks forward to contributing to an organisation that continues to shape the future of aerospace and innovation.
Barun’s mandate spans strategic financial leadership, operational oversight, and stakeholder engagement. From directing large-scale budgets and schedules to influencing long-term organisational goals, the role blends financial discipline with business foresight. He will also lead cross-functional teams and partner with finance colleagues worldwide to support engineering programmes across geographies, including India.
The appointment caps a long stint at Juniper Networks, where Barun spent over a decade, most recently as finance senior manager. There, he led FP&A for global product business units and G&A functions, driving budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning. He also played a key role in enterprise-wide transformation, including spearheading an Oracle to SAP ERP migration and building advanced analytics capabilities using tools such as Tableau and SAP Analytics Cloud.
His earlier career includes finance leadership roles at Sony India Software Centre, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and Mphasis, where he focused on financial planning, governance frameworks, and operational efficiency across global delivery centres.
A chartered accountant from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Barun brings nearly two decades of experience across financial planning, digital transformation, and analytics-led decision making.
His appointment comes at a time when global engineering operations are becoming increasingly complex and distributed, requiring sharper financial oversight and agile planning. With Barun at the helm of FP&A for engineering, Boeing appears to be tightening its financial playbook as it looks to scale innovation with discipline.
