Hike.in domain name has been purchased for 32,000 USD in the year 2012 at Sedo Platform. Many has commented , its an expensive domain purchase. With in 4 years HIKE.in has been emerged as an organisation worth over 1 Billion USD. There are several reasons for the HIKE.in success , mainly the product / service offerings at the same time branding also played a major role. Imagine if they have branded their startup as HIKEHELLO.in or MYHIKE.in or HIKEONLINE.in .. it could have not achieved the same trust as Hike.in . Chosing a right domain name of the business venture is quite important and plays a significant role in the startups success. I can see that some of the above mentioned startups domain names could have been much better.. per example runnr.in can be upgraded to runner.in to avoid the traffic of runnr.in is getting leaked to runner.in and also to get the better branding potential. Hope the Indian tech startups will also focus on chosing the right domain name for their new startups and the existing startups will focus on upgrading their domain names to much more user friendly names before someone else does the same.
Out of the above reported 24 domain names, 21 are .IN and the remaining 3 are .co.in names.
