Seeking Creative Ideas for a New Westernized Name for Our Power Generation Company

Hi Seniors,

It's my pleasure to be a member of this site. I'm working as a Sr. HR executive in a power generation company. This site has helped me in so many ways. Now I need your guidance to choose our company name. We are into Power generation and Infrastructure, and we are planning to change our company name in a westernized way. Could you please help me out with this?

It will be a great pleasure if you provide me with the requested details at the earliest. I am waiting for your suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,
Mary

Hi, the Companies Act has been amended to provide for the company's name to include even numericals e.g., 3i Infotech, etc. Now it is up to you and your imagination. Since you want it to be westernized, you may go for Energen (a combination of energy and generation), powerture (power and venture), etc.

As far as India is concerned, it should be suffixed with "P Ltd" or "Ltd" depending upon the case (hopefully, yours is also a corporate body).

Mary,

If you're seeking acceptance in the West, keep the name as simple as possible. Try these:

1. Generations
2. Innovative Power Design
3. Lateral Power
4. Lifecycles
5. Power Development Group
6. Competitive Power
7. Strategic Power Management

Second word shall be either "Power" or "Energy". As the trend today is Indian power generation biggies like GMR Energy, GVK Power, BGR Energy, etc., are present. The first word can be initials of your founder/promoter, etc., who has contributed in a big manner for the formation of the group. Hope this will help. Lastly, as mentioned earlier, add Pvt. and Ltd. after the first two words. In the final, it should look like (initials of founder) (Power/Energy) Pvt. Ltd.

Hi,

The first word that came to my mind was "Empower" or "Mpower," and I think one word with many messages and trendy as well. I hope it helps.

You can consider naming it "Next Century Power House," "Matrix Power Corporation," or "Powermax Corporation." These are some of the names that come to my mind. All the best.
