orangemedhas: whats in the name?

Orangemedhas is the name of the software company we founded.  So, what is in the name?

The name is derived from two words “orange” and “medhas”.  Medhas means intelligence in Sanskrit and orange is a color that signifies strength and endurance.  There is another reason why “orange” is good - “O Range”, “Oka Range” and “One Range” were common terms used to indicate exceptional abilities by the students of IIIT, Hyderabad.

Advantages of using the name - “orangemedhas”:

• Many people, atleast those from IIIT (students and faculty) have already associated the word medhas to us, mainly due to our personal blogging protal - medhas.org
• The name has a meaning that has its roots in the college where we all met - IIIT, Hyderabad
• The color orange looks cool for the promotion brochures and web!

Now, the disadvantages:

• The name Orangemedhas is too long.
• Registrar of companies failed to identify the difference between medha and orangemedhas, so the Registrar insisted that the name be different.  We tried many names like “orangemedhas [innovative] [software|technologies] [labs]… but companies with “close” names already existed (according to the concerned authority, orangemedhas was close to medha).  And now the name of the company turned out to be “orangemedhas creative software private limited”.  By the first look, the name seems okay, but having this big name on all the letter heads, official communications looks awkward.
• The pronunciation - very few understand the difference between medhas - the unexisting plural of medha and medhas (pronounced as being a part of medhassu for those who understand Telugu).
• The problem with pronunciation of medhas is a small one.  But, the very common use of orange in the company names kind of spoils the fun of having a good original name!
