We have a good crop of answers this time to last week’s question: What are some well-known brands named for mythological characters? From Hindu mythology, there is Maruti, the automobile major.
There are a host of businesses named after gods and goddesses, especially Lakshmi, such as Lakshmi Mills and Lakshmi Machine Works, Bhima Jewellers and Ambuja Cements. Greek and Roman mythology are a favourite source of names for companies with the same names across several fields, only some of which are named in brackets: Atlas (tyres), Hercules (bicycles), Delphi (automotive systems), Hermes (luxury goods), Mars (chocolate), Mercury (a Ford brand of car), Olympus (photography) and Titan (watches).
