Encalm, a leader in redefining the airport hospitality experience in India, has announced the launch of Encalm Eats – a dedicated food and beverage vertical focused on creating distinctive culinary brands and hospitality-led dining experiences. Built on the same philosophy of creating delightful experiences that defines Encalm, the venture combines thoughtful concept creation, culinary craftsmanship, and operational excellence to deliver memorable food experiences.
Conceived as a natural extension of Encalm’s ecosystem, Encalm Eats will focus on developing original food and beverage concepts while also managing a portfolio of partner brands, bringing together authentic flavours, contemporary formats, and consistent execution to deliver culinary experiences tailored to evolving consumer preferences.
Marking the venture’s first milestone, IndiSip is now operational at Delhi Airport. Inspired by the brand’s promise of bringing India to travellers, one sip at a time, the café celebrates the country’s rich beverage traditions alongside familiar comfort foods. From signature chai in flavours like Ginger Cardamom, Kesar, Gulab and Kashmiri Kahwa to iced lattes, handcrafted espressos and indulgent shakes, every offering is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate India’s rich beverage heritage while bringing familiar flavours into the modern travel journey. The food menu complements this with regional favourites such as the fan-favourite Masala Samosa, Khopara Patties, Irani Bun Maska and Achari Paneer Tikka/Chicken Tikka Wraps, alongside café classics like croissants, muffins and cookies.
“Encalm Eats marks the next chapter in Encalm’s journey to build a comprehensive hospitality ecosystem that resonates with today’s consumers. Food and beverage has always been one of hospitality’s most powerful expressions, and with Encalm Eats we are bringing together our understanding of consumer needs, culinary craftsmanship, and thoughtfully designed experiences to build distinctive food brands. IndiSip is the first step in that journey, reflecting our belief that every meal, beverage, and interaction should enrich the overall guest experience.” said Vikas Sharma, Group Chief Executive Officer, Encalm.
Deepak Bhatia, Business Head, Encalm Eats, said “With Encalm Eats, we are building a portfolio of food and beverage concepts rooted in authentic flavours, strong consumer insight, and consistent quality. IndiSip is the first step, a café that brings together India’s rich beverage culture and familiar café favourites in a contemporary format. As we grow, every concept we create will be designed with the same focus on quality, consistency, and memorable guest experiences.”
The launch of IndiSip marks the beginning of Encalm Eats’ broader ambition to build a portfolio of innovative food and beverage offerings across diverse formats and destinations. Building on Encalm’s established presence across the hospitality ecosystem, the venture will continue to develop concepts that are rooted in authentic flavours, shaped by consumer insight, and delivered with the consistency, quality, and creativity that define the Encalm experience. As it expands, Encalm Eats will continue to respond to the evolving preferences of today’s consumers through distinctive culinary brands and thoughtfully crafted dining experiences.
