Hyderabad: Reliance Industries Limited on Thursday issued a clarification stating it has no intention of trademarking “Operation Sindoor,” following public backlash over its trademark application.
In an official statement, Reliance said the application was filed “inadvertently by a junior person without authorisation” and is now been withdrawn.
"Operation Sindoor, a phrase which is now a part of the national consciousness as an evocative symbol of Indian bravery become a symbol of national pride after the recent military operation in response to the Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam," the statement reads.
“Reliance Industries and all its stakeholders are incredibly proud of Operation Sindoor, which came about in response to a Pakistan-sponsored terrorist attack in Pahalgam,” the company said affirming its support for the armed forces.
"Our commitment to the motto of India First remains unwavering," the company reiterated.
Earlier, Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries Limited and three others were among the first to file a trademark application seeking exclusive rights for the name 'Operation Sindoor' under Class 41, which covers entertainment, education, culture, and media services.
The individuals who have also applied for trademarking the phrase are Mukesh Chetram Agrawal, Group Captain Kamal Singh Oberh (Retd), and Alok Kothari.
