📢 Short Answer: YES, you absolutely can — and you SHOULD! 📋✅
In India, you can apply for a trademark registration even if your business is not operational yet. Filing early ensures nobody else grabs your brand name while you’re still setting up! 🛡️🔥

📚 Legal Explanation:
✅ As per the Trade Marks Act, 1999, any individual or business intending to use a name/logo can file a trademark application.
✅ You’ll need to specify it as "proposed to be used" in the application. 📑
✅ Once granted, you get exclusive rights over the name/logo — even if the business starts later! 🥳
