Is this how Anand Mahindra going to name his new car?
Astonished by overwhelming response, Anand Mahindra tweeted, “What an amazing response..My sincere gratitude to everyone for these incredibly useful inputs. My library of names is going to grow exponentially.”
Mahindra Group's Executive Chairman, Anand Mahindra, is very active on Twitter, and through his tweets he has got a great fan following. His tweets convey his zeal for life and readiness to accept new ideas and in this way he has also become an ambassador of the company too. Recently, he invited suggestions from his followers for naming Mahindra's next vehicle, in fact, when one his Twitter followers asked if he could make a car with a Hindi name.
The Mahindra Group Chairman soon invited suggestions tweeting, “Give me some suggestions…I enjoy collecting a library of possible car names…” This led to flood of suggestions, and his Twitter timeline was engulfed with responses, suggesting names from Haryanvi to Sanskrit. One Art of Living member suggested that the next car can be named after one of the chariots of Lord Krishna: “One Krishna’s chariot name :-Daruga. Krishna had 4 horses. 1. Balahak (whitish) 2. Meghapuspa/Meghan (color of clouds) 3. Shaibya (green like a parrot) 4. Sugreeva (yellow-gold).”
Another suggested “Mahindra Bahubali”, saying that even background music for this name is already available and is quite popular. Other Twitter users even suggested popular names like “Chetak”, “Humsafar” and “Teer”, while another twitterati suggested “Dhakad”, which is the Haryanvi word for ‘daring’, saying the name is apt in line with the robustness of Mahindra vehicles. “The kind of vehicles Mahindra produces, it should be named “????”,” he tweeted.
On Mahindra’s practice of ending the names of its vehicles with the letter ‘O’ (eg- Bolero, Scorpio, Xylo, Verito), one Twitter suggestion was ‘Mahindra Shastro’, based on the Sanskrit word ‘Shastra’.
