Intellectual Properties are so fascinating. Most of us relate the unique creations to revenue streams, asset building, opportunities to license or ways to curb competition.
Well, for some, they are the only identity and legacy that families wear as a badge of pride.
MotiMahal, an iconic restaurant in Delhi, and most famous for it’s world-admired recipes like ButterChicken and DalMakhani is now in legal battle with a competing restaurant Daryaganj for misusing its website and restaurant layout, and claims over the creation of these iconic dishes.
Interestingly, while it is relatively new in business, owners Jaggis relate to original Moti Mahal owners trio - Kundan Lal Gujral, Kundan Lal Jaggi and Thakur Das Magu.
The matter is with the Delhi High Court, and it would be interesting to see how it unfolds.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
