Pritam Panda

 * – ( View AfD View log  Panda )

This person faked his credentials as reported here: http://odishasuntimes.com/2016/03/18/exclusive-interview-fashion-designer-pritam-panda-expose/

This guy is not recognized nationally and internationally and he photoshopped pictures from the facebook posts of Wissam Hanna. Wissam Hanna is not known in Odisha and Odiya journalists found a local hero. These journalists didn't verify anything and published news.

In 2013, timesofindia's Bhubaneswar edition reported that he is nominated for Murex Global Fashion Award and a simple google search will tell that there is no such award as Murex Global Fashion Award.

This news is a hoax as the fashion award doesn't exist.

In 2010 Indian newspapers reported that he won 2010 World Chopard Young Entrepreneur Award.

A google search will prove that there is no such award as World Chopard Young Entrepreneur Award.

 * Thanks for marking this for deletion. If you didn't I would have marked it myself. It is such a shame I fell for the newspaper publications back then. --Psubhashish (talk) 19:05, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
