When you say register the name, what do you mean? A copyright? A registered business? A trademark?

I don’t know anything about the law in India. Here in the USA, it usually makes sense to register small businesses as an LLC. But even that varies from one state to another within the USA. Your best bet is to ask a lawyer for advice on the topic.

This was asked a few days ago. A little more info here…

Create a company for your game?

Really great question. I had this one myself 2 years ago when I launched my first app and decided to try and do this for a living. Consulting a lawyer is a nice suggestion, but they’re frikkin’ expensive and successful app businesses really are run on a shoestring at the start. It would probably have been my biggest expense had I consulted a lawyer, so I tend to try to avoid them like the plague - same goes for accountants, but they’re a little less offensive to me. You would also be surprised…

Yes we all plan go big… my advice.

Get big first and handle being big issues later on.

SImply comply with your country regulations in order to keep your activity administration in the legal zone and focus on making cash.

Once you make cash copyright your game names etc…

Ideally you want to register your company before you start doing any contracts or agreements.
