The car manufacturer says it will contest the brand rights of 'BE 6e' in court, asserts that IndiGo's claim is baseless
IN the growing tussle between India's largest airline IndiGo and homegrown auto major Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) over the use of code '6e', the latter on Saturday said it will contest the brand rights of 'BE 6e' in court. For the time being, Mahindra has decided to name its electric sports utility vehicle as 'BE 6' from the disputed nameplate 'BE 6e'.
"We, however, do believe the claim by IndiGo is baseless and if not challenged, will set an unhealthy precedent of monopolizing alpha-numeric 2-character marks, despite our mark being distinctive and different. This will be enormously constraining for all companies across industries and sectors," said M&M in a statement on Saturday.
It added, "We will thus continue to strongly contest this in court and reserve our right to the brand name BE 6e."

Hathras in 2024 at a religious satsang, where followers stampede in a rush of blind devotion, while the state machinery busies itself trying to control the narrative. Even at the greatest of religious festivals, the Kumbh Mela, where millions gather, crowd-related deaths occur with horrifying regularity, often covered up and casually dismissed as a ‘logistical inevitability.’

Peanuts, Priorities, and the Flow of Time
Not long ago, I had a conversation with a CEO who, somewhere between checking his phone and adjusting his tie, declared: “I just don’t have time to pursue what I really want.” It was a very solemn moment. Almost moving. Had it not been for the fact that, during our 20-minute chat, he checked his phone 17 times. That's once every 45 seconds—20 if you subtract the part where he closed his eyes and said “Mmm” to pretend he was listening
