The "regular" Encalm lounge had crazy long lines, and I believe Air India elites, etc. are also being redirected to Encalm Prive during their lounge renovations. So finding a quiet spot at the gates seemed to be the best option...
I was told no as well by the check-in agent for BOM Adani lounge but I asked her to check with the manager who gave the invite. The check-in staff are third party and often not aware of all the rules.
