In India, bing is bing, subway is subway and coca cola is coca cola. Irrespective of that Google has around 89% market share. Considering other search engines, bing would have as much market share as in China. Coca Cola and its Indian counterpart(Thums-up) have around 20% market share.
Subway is as popular and though I dont have the numbers based on a cursory search, I am sure the numbers are again comparable.
The argument in the article doesnt hold. These companies/products have succeeded/failed not because of their name but because they were good.
Speaking of names, IPad was probably not the best chosen name. It hasn't stopped it from being a success.
Not really relevant. English is much more pervasive in India (it's one of India's national languages!) than in China, despite English being one of the most-learned foreign languages there.
Subjectively, there's also a greater sense of nationalism in China. They want things "their way" to a certain extent. India seems to lack this (at least to a degree), possibly due to former British rule, or current relations with the US and the rest of the West. Compared to China, India is a ridiculously open society. The Chinese are much less exposed to Western influences.
