India is one of the largest markets for Google's Android operating system and we had hoped the tech giant would look this side while naming Android N. In fact Sundar Pichai visited India in December last year, and hinted at Android finally getting an Indian name with Android N this time. While addressing students at SRCC in New Delhi, he had said for the next version of Android, the company could do an online poll and if all Indians vote, Android N or Android P could get an Indian name.

Naiyyappam - Android Naiyyappam. This sweet made with flour, jaggery and ghee, we feel surely has the capacity to lure Google in to naming its next OS as Android Naiyyappam. (Source: Edible Garden/ flickr)
Nariyal Loaddo- Android Nariyal Loaddo will definitely bring more luck to Google's Android. And why not? It has a perfect shape, tastes great and it's every coconut lover's favourite. (Source: Mousumi Borgohain/ flickr)
Nankhatai - Android Nankhatai. Dear good Android guys, you must try Nankhatai. If you like it (which you should) then name the next version Android Nankhatai. When baked perfectly, Nankhatai just melts in your mouth, and the scrumptious outer layer just leaves you wanting for more. We bet you can't just have one! (Source: Divya Kudua/ flickr)
Nariyal Barfi - Android Nariyal Barfi? We love to eat it but won't Android Nariyal Barfi look a bit too similar to an already giant white Android Marshmallow. Imagine, a huge piece of textured white square placed outside the Google's office. Won't it look majestic? (Source: Divya Kudua/ flickr)
Ney Payasam - Android Ney Payasam. Now, Ney Payasam isn't a dish many of you must have heard of, but that doesn't make it less awesome. Made with jaggery and 'ghee', no one can say no to Ney Payasam, and Google shouldn't too. Now, how cool would a bowl of Ney Payasam icon look, when you try and update your update your smartphone to Google's latest OS. (Source: Aparna Balasubramanian/ flickr)
