Name picks

Grab

Starting as a taxi-hailing app in 2012 under the name MyTeksi, Grab has rebranded and extended its product platform to include taxis (GrabTaxi), private car services (GrabCar), motorcycle taxis (GrabBike), social carpooling (GrabHitch) and last-mile delivery (GrabExpress) under one umbrella brand. It provides everyday services like Deliveries, Mobility, Financial Services, and More. The company has managed to raise an impressive and highest in the list $12.1B funding in 33 rounds. 

We’ve grown over the years — and we’re now much more than a taxi app. This new brand is an important evolution that represents our goal to out-serve our customers.

Highlights

Looking at the rest of the brands on the list, more than half of the companies (46 out of 63) have chosen the .com extension for their web presence.

38 companies operate on a .com domain name exactly matching their brand. This is a proven way to avoid traffic and email leaks and communicate to your audience that you are a global brand that’s here to stay.

31 of the brands on the list have chosen one word or derivative for a brand name. Dashes and numbers seem to be not among the choices for a domain name, with only one company using a dash in its domain, and 0 with numbers.
