Similar to a product mark, a service mark identifies a service as opposed to a good. A service mark’s main purpose is to set its owners apart from those who own other advantages.

Anybody claiming to be the owner of a trademark in India, be it a person, business, corporation, or other legal entity, may apply for a trademark.
