The only similar sounding Indian city I can think of if Agra, in North India (site of the Taj Mahal) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agra).

The apple issue was about receiving unsolicited ideas from users, to which the girl got a standard form letter from legal saying that apple doesn't accept unsolicited product ideas. Nokia got around this by having any feedback given to them on the site become their own property. Innovation? Well, I guess. ;) Well, I can see how this works out great for Nokia:
