Largely promotional. Repeating what I wrote on the Talk page to explain the speedy tag before it was removed, "The history section consists mostly of the subjective relating of externally unverifiable aspects of the founders' motivation, written in admiring terms to engage the reader and stimulate interest. The How It Works section is written to persuade the reader that this is a great place to do business. That's promotional. Wikipedia, an encyclopedia, is written from a neutral point of view." Also, I'm doubtful about its notability, though I could be wrong about that, but I'm considering that hand-in-hand with the promotional nature of it. Largoplazo (talk) 18:25, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete problems with the promotional tone, as raised above, but the sources are seem to be regurgitated press releases; at the bottom of one reference I noticed that they had links to similarly regurgitated press releases for other companies, and I noticed another source was duplicated twice. None the source really go into depth enough to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH and the references to venture funding within the sources make it likely that the provided sources are part of a venture capital push ("This series captures the startup ecosystem in the state") rather than the type of source we require to meet WP:GNG. jcc (tea and biscuits) 19:53, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - First off, if this isn't A7/G11, then it's definitely in the neighborhood, and close enough to have a strong opinion when A7/G11 don't keep up their lawn. As to notability, the google reference is the definition of passing mention, and let's be honest, if they were talking about a different company by the same name we wouldn't be able to tell the difference. There's other passing mentions to be had. There's also this Times of India piece, which was the most in-depth coverage I found, but it doesn't pass the cringe test. Neither do the Hindu Business Line or the New Indian Express sources, which are pretty much just different flavors of interviews with the same guy. If these aren't thinly veiled advertisements, then they're definitely in the neighborhood, and close enough to have a strong opinion when thinly veiled advertisements don't clean up after their dog. Overall, there doesn't seem to be very much with which to write an article with, that wouldn't be either so totally non-neutral it should probably be removed, or would end up being a glorified product specification of the features of their website, and so not really an encyclopedia article to begin with.

 * Delete - This appears to be totally advertising for a non notable company. --Sau226 (talk) 15:23, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
