How Indian companies are named
Under Section 4 of the Companies Act, 2013, a private company’s name must end with “Private Limited” and a public company’s with “Limited”; One Person Companies add “(OPC)”, and Section 8 not-for-profits are exempt. A new name can’t be identical to or too close to an existing company’s or a registered trademark. Check availability with our company name search guide.
Brand names often differ from legal names — Swiggy Ltd was Bundl Technologies, and many companies are known by an abbreviation. The table below uses the name each company uses publicly.
