Our Story

Gandiva Archery Range and Café started because the founders and owners, a family of archery enthusiasts loved the famous Mahabharata and particularly adored the story about Arjuna and the celestial bow Gandiva. Thus, they put up their first ever archery store on 2008 at SM Mall of Asia in memory of the mighty bow Gandiva.

Together with DepEd’s efforts in promoting archery on a grass-root level, we at Gandiva support Archery, a long time Olympic sport by providing technical skill and training ranges as well as sponsoring archery events among the youth. With the help of Samick from Korea, Gandiva starter bows were manufactured to provide Olympic class sport equipment for Filipino archers at reasonable prices. Now archery in the Philippines has become widespread and Gandiva is proud to be a part of this.

Today, year 2011, Gandiva evolves to cater not only to the archers, through its archery range franchise but also to make available a whole new level of healthy eating and living to athletes and health enthusiasts. We still continue on with the advocacy to promote archery nationwide, but now we are here to offer the vegetarian lifestyle and green living through the Gandiva café.
