Operation Sindoor is the proud achievement of our brave Armed Forces in India's uncompromising fight against the evil of terrorism, it added.
Further, the conglomerate extended its support to the Government and Armed forces, and said that its motto 'India First' remains unwavering.
Just hours after India launched its cross-border military action under the name Operation Sindoor, Reliance Industries Limited was among the first to rush to the trademark office to lay claim to the term—a move that quickly drew public attention.
On May 7, 2025, between 10:42 am and 6:27 pm, four separate trademark filings were made for “Operation Sindoor” under Class 41 of the Nice Classification, which covers media, entertainment, education, and cultural services.

The applicants included Reliance, Mumbai-based Mukesh Chetram Agrawal, retired Indian Air Force Group Captain Kamal Singh Oberh, and Delhi lawyer Alok Kothari. All four submissions described the term as “proposed to be used,” hinting at future media or entertainment projects centered around the evocative title.
The name Operation Sindoor quickly struck a national chord— sindoor, symbolising valor, sacrifice, and cultural heritage, became an emotionally potent label for India’s retaliatory strike. While the buzz around the name surged, so did the interest in its commercial potential.
