Delhi Police seize over 1,100 fake units

In a video shared online, Nothing India co-founder and President Akis Evangelidis said the company had noticed a sharp rise in counterfeit products last year. According to the company, raids carried out by Delhi Police led to the seizure of more than 1,100 fake items, including charging adapters and true wireless earbuds carrying Nothing and CMF branding.

The company said some of the seized products closely resembled original accessories, while others were models or colour variants that Nothing never officially launched. Nothing added that the problem is not limited to offline markets, as certain online listings have also featured products falsely using its branding.

Company urges buyers to verify before purchase

Nothing has asked customers to check product listings carefully before making a purchase. The company has asked customers to buy only from authorised sellers and official stores. It also noted that many fake listings tend to have very few reviews or ratings that do not look consistent, which can be a sign that the product is not genuine.

Akis Evangelidis said in the awareness video that counterfeit products not only affect the brand but may also pose safety risks to users, especially in the case of chargers and electronic accessories.

The move comes shortly after Nothing opened its first branded store in Bengaluru and shifted CMF operations to India as a registered entity. As the brand grows in the country, it appears to be tightening its efforts against unauthorised sellers and counterfeit supply chains.

Nothing has said it will continue working with authorities to identify and act against sellers of fake products carrying its name. Meanwhile, the company is gearing up to launch the Phone (4a) series globally on March 5.
