The name, in case anyone's interested, comes from an Indian fable about a Prince who has a magical little bag, called a Zambeel, and no matter what he needs, it’s in the bag. The concept of an infinite resource, like the little bag, appealed to Waheed Qureshi, the CTO and co-founder of Zambeel.

Note: Zambeel is a slightly better name for a company than "Sport Billy," a western version of the fable. Sport Billy is a hero from another planet with a kitbag full of anything he can think of – the contents are miniature when inside the bag and grow when taken out. Weird or what?!
