Making Ideas Work

इदम ् - ‘This’ ‘This Earth at This Time’

The word 'Idam' in Sanskrit means 'This' and is

used as a pronoun to refer earth and/or time as

'This Earth' or 'This Time‘. We interpret it as ‘This

Earth at This Time’ or ‘Firmly Grounded’. Of

course, that does not mean we are immobile, but it

means that we are "Realistic". We believe this

represents our corporate ethos. Our logo has Earth

at the center, surrounded by five basic elements or

panchmahabhutas according to Hindu Literature,

i.e., air, fire, water, earth and space. The fins

represent continuous churning around the earth

ensuring that the earth is always stable.
