Reliance Wants “Indians” TLD + Airtel wants “Bharti” – Infosys, HDFC, Tata in Fray for Top Level Domains

ICANN opened registrations for own Top Level Domain Names such as .COM, .ORG etc at a reserve price of USD 185,000 which may go higher if the TLD were to go for an auction. 21 Indian companies are in the fray. Noteable amongst them are Mukesh D. Ambani owned Reliance Industries wanting to get “Indian” Top Level Domain [TLD] citing that his wife Nita Ambani owns the IPL Cricket Team “Mumbai Indians” in his application. But why has RIL a Public Ltd company applied instead of Ms Nita Ambani herself ?

Bharti Airtel promoter, Mr. Sunil Bharti Mittal has applied for “Bharti” and “Airtel” top level domain names.

Here is complete list of Indian companies applying for Top Level Domains with ICANN. Results of their application will be shortly known.
