Nanotechnology, which is shortly called as Nanotech is a study of manipulating matter on molecular and atomic scale. This field deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometre in at least one dimension and involves development of devices and materials possessing a minimum of one dimension within that size.

As compared to other countries, the field of nanotechnology is at its infancy stage in India and it is developing slowly and steadily in the recent years. Like other sectors, there are also some best companies in the nanotechnology sector in India and the names of these companies are given below:

Top five nanotechnology companies in India:

• Yashnanotech
