The Encovate Backstory

Founder Encovate | Championing People Development in Hospitality
Welcome to Encovate blog post!
Before we dive into what's ahead, it’s important to share why we began.
In my 20+ years of Corporate journey, of rising through roles to leading teams and mentoring individuals - there was one belief that kept getting stronger.
That every individual has the potential to grow beyond their current role — to lead, to innovate, to inspire — once they recognize their inner spark and receive the right guidance.
That belief became my calling.
That calling became a mission.
And that mission became Encovate — a platform built to develop people, not just for the jobs they hold today, but for the careers and contributions they are capable of tomorrow.
Forever grateful for the first opportunity-training a standalone team on sales fundamentals and guest communication.
One workshop became two. One hotel became three. The impact was visible, and so was the hunger for creating more meaningful learning for our audience.
From those early sessions, Encovate evolved into a full-fledged learning and development company — one that today delivers blended learning solutions across online, offline, and hybrid formats, designed specifically for the hospitality industry.
Today, Encovate has trained over 10,000+ hospitality professionals and students — across colleges, companies, and independent learning journeys.
And yet, the mission remains the same:
To engage, educate, and enable individuals at every stage of their hospitality journey.
What Does the Name 'Encovate' Mean?
Encovate is a mashup of two powerful words-Encore and Cultivate
Encore signifies repetition — the idea that consistent, repeated efforts lead to mastery.
Cultivate reflects the process of nurturing growth — whether it’s skills, confidence, or mindset.
Together, Encovate represents the belief that with deliberate practice and guided learning, we can cultivate habits, build potential, and shape future-ready hospitality professionals.
Because excellence isn’t a one-time act — it’s something we grow through repetition and intention.
More Than Training — It’s a Career Enabler
At Encovate, the goal isn’t just learning. It’s transformation.
To transform students into confident professionals.
To transform teams into brand ambassadors.
To transform learning into growth.
Because in hospitality, people are the most powerful asset — and developing them is the most valuable investment.
