Our Logo Story
“You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can’t get them across, your ideas won’t get you anywhere” – Lee Iacocca

The bulb symbolizes the fortitude of generating new ideas and rocket represents the synergy
needed to execute the ideas coz we believe that building a successful startup is no less than
launching a successful rocket!
