BigBasket, a billion $ startup threatens a 2 person startup to shut down | This is their response that got media attention

They don't own the word 'basket'.

Their claims look like BS to me. Its called Capitalism baby!!

I have no idea how they'll even fight this claim in courts. Trademark laws don't protect generic names like "basket" too.

This is something that concerns me about some companies in the Indian start-up ecosystem. Companies like Byjus/WhiteHat Jr suing critics (from investors to random Youtubers). BigBasket suing a random start-up without any strong grounds. This is just weird and highly inappropriate. BigBasket issued a clarification on Twitter which is hilarious to read.

I hope some of these Indian start-ups rise above these petty, crooked competition killing tactics and focus more on building strong, product-first businesses. Would love to see the court hold them accountable.

All the best luck but i must say, very good job beating their billion dollar asses with 2 people :) your product looks superior to their design :)

Kudos to DailyBasket for thoroughly breaking down BigBasket's accusations. However, I wouldn't personally have put a shred of effort into telling them to put that letter where the sun doesn't shine :)
