Quick answers

Did Heikal Gani co-found Indochino?

Yes. Indochino's Series B announcement of March 21, 2013 describes the business as "Co-founded in 2007 by Kyle Vucko, CEO, and Heikal Gani, chief creative officer." Vucko independently called him "my co-founder and fellow University of Victoria classmate" in a Daily Hive piece published December 19, 2017.

What was Heikal Gani's role at Indochino?

Chief creative officer, according to that same March 21, 2013 Indochino announcement. BCBusiness reported on June 27, 2016 that he had left the company "two years ago to launch Sugarmat, a Montreal-based custom yoga mat company," which places his departure around 2014.

What is Indochino?

A made-to-measure menswear business. Impakter wrote on December 8, 2015 that it was "Founded in 2007 by Heikal Gani and Kyle Vucko," and Indochino's own March 21, 2013 announcement describes suits, shirts and outerwear made to each customer's measurements rather than held as inventory.

What does Heikal Gani do now?

Not established. Her World Singapore described him on November 19, 2021 as Sugarmat's "Singapore-born founder and creative director," but Sugarmat's own about page, checked 2026-09-22, lists no founders and now presents the brand as Bali-based, so no present-day role is claimed here.
