<p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>

<p>I am the owner of a marketing business, <strong>XYZ Solutions (Ind) Pvt. Ltd</strong>.</p>

<p>As I just started the company I have Two or Three Advertisers and Affiliates Marketing of Amazon, Flipkart, Ebay, etc.</p>

<p>Now, I want to increase my sales so can I use Affiliates Marketing's name: Amazon, Flipkart, Ebay, etc as my customers in my Website?</p>

<p>If you advertise that various well-known firms are clients of yours, when this is in fact a lie, this is a form of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_advertising" rel="nofollow noreferrer">false advertising</a>. If other clients or potential clients reasonably rely on those false statements and suffer harm by doing so, it might also be a form of fraud. Most jurisdictions have some form of government sanctions on false advertising, which may include injunctions to stop such ads, and fines for ones already published. In some cases, criminal penalties could apply. This would be a very unwise course of action, and announcing it here only provides evidence that such false statements are made knowingly. </p>
