We shortlisted around 25 names, looking for something meaningful and relevant. DICOT stood out—it’s short for Digital and Communication Technology, which reflects our core in industrial IoT.
But it also carries a deeper metaphor. A dicot is a seed that splits into two parts as it grows. It symbolizes potential, balance, and growth. I liked the idea of it growing into a mangrove—a resilient ecosystem that protects and nurtures its surroundings, stabilizes coastlines, and supports marine life. That’s the kind of impact I envision for our startup in the industrial landscape.
You can see the seed philosophy in our logo as well:
