Answer

If by “Maloos” you mean the Jain community/surname sometimes written as Maloo or Malu, then many Maloos are traditionally associated with the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, especially among Marwari/Oswal Jain communities.

Explanation

However, a surname or community name alone does not always prove a person’s exact Jain sect. Within Jain society, families may identify as:

• Śvetāmbara Mūrtipūjak
• Sthānakavāsī
• Terāpanthī
• or in some cases another Jain tradition depending on family history

So the safest answer is: Maloos are commonly Śvetāmbara Jains, but the exact sect should be confirmed from the family’s own tradition.

Takeaway

In Jain Dharma, surname/community can give a clue, but actual sampradāya is determined by the family’s religious practice, guru-paramparā, and tradition.
