Nandan Shukla - Founder and CEO, Dicot Innovations
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.
