Atithya by Encalm and AVIS India Forge Partnership to Elevate Airport Experience

New Delhi, 12th June 2025: Travel today is no longer just about flying; it’s about the entire journey, from arrival to final destination. Embracing this philosophy, Encalm Hospitality, a leader in premium airport services, has joined forces with AVIS India, a trusted name in luxury mobility solutions, to transform the airport experience.

Central to this initiative is Atithya by Encalm, the brand’s signature meet and assist service, which now extends beyond the terminal through integration with AVIS India’s premium chauffeured transfers- delivering travelers a unified, elevated, and thoughtfully curated passage.

Atithya has long been synonymous with calm, personalised care from the moment guests arrive at the airport. With the addition of AVIS India’s professionally managed fleet, featuring luxury cars, all impeccably maintained with an average age of just 24 months- this experience now extends beyond the terminal. Whether it’s a business traveler on a tight schedule or a family setting out on a holiday, guests are seamlessly guided from gate to vehicle, where a well-trained chauffeur awaits to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition.

This enhancement elevates the Atithya journey by incorporating door-to-door convenience, including pickups from home, hotel, or office to the airport-and vice versa. AVIS India’s well-versed chauffeurs, hygienic interiors, and 24/7 customer support complement Encalm’s commitment to attentive hospitality and seamless service delivery. Together, the two brands offer a consistent, high-touch standard of care—both within the airport and on the road—allowing travelers to relax and focus on the journey ahead.

Bringing together Atithya’s bespoke assistance and AVIS India’s mobility expertise results in a truly integrated end-to-end airport experience, anticipating every traveler’s need and delivering a journey that is as reassuring as it is refined.

Commenting on this evolution, Vikas Sharma, CEO of Encalm Hospitality, shared: “Atithya has always been more than just assistance- it’s about making travelers feel truly cared for at every stage. Expanding Atithya to include door-to-door transfers aligns perfectly with our philosophy of a smooth, stress-free journey. Our aim is to remove uncertainty from travel, so guests arrive refreshed and ready, with every detail thoughtfully managed.”

Aman Naagar, Managing Director, AVIS India, added: “Our commitment goes beyond simply providing a ride; we strive to offer a dependable and considerate experience. Features such as complimentary bottled water, hygienic interiors, and round-the-clock support complement Encalm’s exceptional airport hospitality. Together, we prioritise traveller comfort and peace of mind at every step, creating a seamless journey that begins well before the airport and continues beyond it.”

This strategic alliance underscores a shared vision to elevate the overall travel ecosystem by combining two trusted service providers committed to excellence and customised service. It marks a significant step forward in crafting a more integrated, sophisticated, and indulgent travel experience for savvy travelers across the country.
