The subject has not attracted sufficient independent, in-depth coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:BIO. I suggest we redirect to FreeCharge. SmartSE (talk) 20:38, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - I requested this article be undeleted through the undeletion request form. It was reviewed and approved. This article is primarily about Sandeep Tandon, not Freecharge. He has multiple instances of press coverage about his contributions as an angel investor in the start-up industry. An additional notice has been placed on the article indicating a contributor has a COI, which I disclosed on my user page and Sandeep Tandon's page. USCalum91 (talk) 23:16, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Not much in terms of independent sources or significant enough coverage to merit a WP:GNG pass. Wikipedia is WP:NOTLINKEDIN. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:35, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

 * I agree Wikipedia is not Linkedin. My opinion is that as a leading Indian venture capitalist involved in multiple projects, high profile deals, and interviews with news companies regarding the state of Indian economics, Sandeep Tandon should have an article denoting his contributions to Indian venture capitalism. A couple of other sources not in the original article, but should probably be added are https://inc42.com/buzz/used-car-marketplace-spinny-raises-funding/ (showing Spinny another startup), https://www.inventiva.co.in/2019/06/13/list-of-most-active-angel-investors-in-india-every-startup-should-know/ and https://www.cnbc.com/video/2015/10/01/is-india-ready-for-a-tech-revolution.html. I do have a COI, so I'm not directly making these additions myself. USCalum91 (talk) 15:45, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to a lack of sustained WP:SIGCOV. This isn't the place for resumes per WP:NOTLINKEDIN. Newshunter12 (talk) 06:56, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Odd one this.  I can confirm that in 2015 his firm was one of the largest Indian internet buyouts in history (see Sequoia Capital, one of the most respected VC firms in the world, talking with him here as part of their buyout by a Sequoia company).  However, other RS is thin; I would have expected such a transaction to have more RS?. Britishfinance (talk) 10:33, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
