Wikipedia is not advertising. The article reads like the subject's resume and I suspect there may be some COI editing going on. Pishcal — ♣ 18:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

I understood your concerns. The article has been edited to include only the facts. The notability of the living person is sufficient. Reasons according to me are as follows. Let me know your thoughts. - User talk:Abhijitborkar 11:04, 7 May 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep - the sources do not convince me, in particular I wonder whether "Forbes Midde East" is an WP:RS, but being CEO of Citibank as is claimed above would surely grant some notability. The article could be trimmed down a bit, though.
 * Welcome to Wikipedia. You do have a WP:COI ("Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial or other relationships" and you said he is an alumni from your school), but it does not mean your contributions should be automatically rejected; we welcome editors that are familiar with subjects the average Wikipedian (a 20-something male Westerner) does not know. However, you should maybe spend some time reading the policies about sourcing. For instance, I do not believe topgunsworld.com stands up to WP:RS. Tigraan (talk) 15:40, 21 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - : Thanks for the insights. The intent was purely to contribute to wikipedia. I had created an article on a very well-known professor from our institute as well. This article was again with similar intent. I will definitely consider your suggestions in further articles.
