I can find no WP:GNG sources for this person. The refs cited in the article are not independent or brief mentions. The HuffPo interview is from a contributor so not RS. Hindustan Times is identified as a press release as is the Deccan Herald. The Hans India is not so identified, but is clearly the same thing. Levivich 15:01, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete As stated in nom, almost all the references in the article are either self published or otherwise unsuitable for establishing notability and verifiability. Much of the article reads as promotional to me, such as the numerous self quotes inserted for no good reason, the long list of philanthropy, and the bragging about the subject's business.

 * Delete per nom. The subject appears to be a successful business person, but success in business alone does not make for a Wiki article. Notability has clearly not been shown and reliable sources are lacking. Fails WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 07:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
