The Story of “Naviara”
At the heart of Incluvate's vision is a unique symbol—a mythical fish with wings, embodying both agility and freedom. This creature is a reminder that, like it, organizations too can evolve beyond perceived limitations. The fish represents the grounded reality of day-to-day business operations, while the wings are a symbol of the boundless potential that lies in adopting an innovative mindset. With Incluvate’s commitment to "Enabling Innovation Culture," companies don’t just navigate; they transcend. The name "Naviara" blends "navigate" with "air," symbolizing the creature's dual nature as both a navigator of the depths (representing grounded knowledge and foundational skills) and a creature of the sky (representing innovation, freedom, and growth). It’s a name that embodies Incluvate’s mission to empower organizations to transcend their current state, navigating complexity with newfound capabilities.
The Brand Story : Wings of Innovation
In a world where change is the only constant, innovation becomes the currency of resilience, growth, and relevance.
