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.
Story by Aditya Kalra and Arpan Chaturvedi at Thomson Reuters, worth a read!!

The eChai Effect - In Their Words
"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.

"If there’s one phrase that sums up my journey, it’s truly ‘The eChai Effect.’ Six years ago, I simply walked into my first eChai event, not knowing what to expect. The honest conversations, energy, and inspiration from founders and entrepreneurs struck a chord within me. That eChai spark became the catalyst for everything to follow. I proudly say: my entrepreneurship journey started—and keeps evolving—because of eChai. Redicine Medsol’s story is integrally linked to this community. I’ve gained so much, not just as a founder but as a forever volunteer and grateful member of the eChai family. With all my heart, thank you Jatin Bhai and everyone at eChai for shaping, guiding, and supporting my dreams. The eChai Effect will always be a part of my story."

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
