The Garuda name
The Garuda philosophy and concept is not based on Indian mythology, but the name is still very befitting. Garuda, half eagle and half man, is the immortal king of birds. He is chosen as carrier of the supreme god Vishnu who is the preserver of the universe. Garuda has a great hatred for the evil and roams about the universe devouring the bad. To be such a speedy messenger of truth and wisdom, seeing through the clouds of deception and defending the good, is certainly a noble mission also for the Garuda Corporation.
