Why Shunyatam?
Shunyatam is an offshoot of Shunya and Uttam. While Uttam means excellence, Shunya also pronounced as Shoonya in the mathematical context means 'Zero' and is one of India's biggest mathematical contribution to the world by Indian mathematician-astronomer Aryabhata around 498 AD. Moreover, our tagline says, "From Tens to Millions, Shunya makes the difference..." Yes, Shunya or Zero can make a major difference as it keeps adding.
