Imitations of well-known fashion labels are everywhere and have gained popularity among many people, especially the younger generation. Even while brand enthusiasts don't prefer purchasing such goods, they nonetheless manage to capture a sizable share of our Indian marketplaces. The names of the counterfeit goods are also amusingly similar but misleading.
Anand Mahindra, a business magnate, recently posted an image of one such product online that utilises a name and logo that are similar to those of the global sportswear company Adidas. He posted a photo of an Adidas shoe that had been improperly duplicated. And surprisingly, the brand name is what has gained immense popularity. The image shows a white shoe with what appears to be an Adidas emblem and the three-stripe trademark. However, a closer inspection reveals that Adidas is actually written as ‘Ajitdas' on the footwear.
Completely logical. It just means that Adi has a brother called Ajit. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam? 😊 pic.twitter.com/7W5RMzO2fB
November 22, 2022The image became popular online as soon as it was shared. Anand Mahindra added extra humour to the post by describing it as absolutely reasonable and adding, "Adi has a brother named Ajit." Many others shared their opinions in the comment area when the image became widespread online. Several other variations of these humorous duplicates were also posted by some. Take a look at them:
Sir more power to Vasudhaiv kutumbkam as adi has a sister too "Ada" along with brother "Ajit" 😇😇 pic.twitter.com/ue9RlFc0Vz
