Just my opinion, but you may want to consider renaming the company. Hearing someone say “tecktok” is likely to have potential users searching for “techtalk” or similar. Not to mention it’s very close to tiktok, which I’m sure you know is banned in India.

Since the first two countries listed have many Malay/Indonesian speakers, another association for "tok" might be as a short term for an old person http://prpm.dbp.gov.my/Cari1?keyword=tok&d=139128&#LIHATSINI e.g. "tok guru" for an old (and wise?) religious leader.

Though I barely know enough Malay to order some nasi lemak, so I can't say how likely that is to be an intended connection.
