Lodha vs Lodha: Mother steps in to end feud between brothers, says “As a mother, I direct you…”

India has been witnessing its fair share of business family feuds in recent times – from the Kalyanis and Modis to the Hinduja brothers, and now another marquee feud doing the rounds is between the real estate developers, the Lodha siblings. With the rivalry escalating, the mother of warring brothers – Abhishek and Abhinandan Lodha – Manju Lodha finally stepped in to stop the dispute. Manju Lodha, in a letter to the two brothers, asked them to stop their dispute immediately. 

In the letter, she wrote, “…I request you to stop all your disputes immediately. As a mother, I direct you:

1. You will not say anything wrong about each other.
2. You will not fight with each other.
3. You have no right against each other’s business or shareholding.
4. Neither of you have to give anything to each other.
5. You will not interfere in any manner with each other’s business.
6. Bring an end to all your disputes, respect each other and try to help each other.”

The letter comes weeks after the two brothers agreed to a mediation as reported on January 31. The family feud had escalated over the ‘Lodha’ trademark dispute, and Abhishek Lodha’s Macrotech Developers had filed a Rs 5,000 crore lawsuit against the younger brother’s firm, the House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL). The brand infringement lawsuit was filed on January 20 in the Bombay High Court, to restrain HoABL from using the word ‘Lodha’ in any form, claiming exclusive trademark rights to the name. 

The letter was shared by Macrotech Developers on the exchanges. 

In the letter, Manju Lodha reminisced, “When both of you were born, I experienced happiness which cannot be described in words – in your form, God had blessed me with a treasure box of joy. There was only a small difference of 1.5 years between the two of you and I myself was only 21 years of age. Both would fall ill together. I would find it difficult to manage all worldly responsibilities while taking care of both of you. But both of you never troubled me.
