Our name & symbol

The meaning behind RANC.

RANC stands for Regal Anila Consultant. Our name, symbol and colour come from Hindu and Sanskrit tradition, and they shape how we work: steady flow, integrity, clarity and energy.

  • Regal

    Royal, dignified

    We work with dignity and integrity, and treat every business with respect.

  • Anila अनिल

    Wind, the breath of life

    Sanskrit for wind or air: a name of Vayu, linked with prana, the life-breath that moves everything.

  • Om ॐ in a lotus

    Our symbol

    Om is Hinduism’s most sacred sound and symbol. The lotus blooms clean from muddy water: purity, clarity, growth.

  • Saffron

    Bhagwa / kesari

    Linked with sacred fire (agni): the colour of energy, purity, courage and wisdom.

सत्यमेव जयते

Satyam eva jayate — “Truth alone triumphs.”
