Appears to be non-notable. Although they have recieved some coverage, it isn't up to the level of WP:GNG. A Google search, both on .com and .co.in reveal nothing much that appears to help show notability. -- Mdann 52   talk to me!  07:21, 22 August 2014 (UTC) withdrawn -- Mdann  52   talk to me!
 * Keep He has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple independent sources per WP:BASIC. In addition to the several references already in the aticle suchas Business Standard and Indian Express, see, e.g., The Hindu Businessline and Economic Times. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 15:34, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Like sports players and actors and actresses, business people get mentioned in news articles with great frequency, which seems to skew the impression of notability. We need a clear(er) policy on what makes a business person notable. It is the job of business papers and magazines to report on these people, just like it is the job of movie mags to fill their pages with mentions of every actor they can find. Usually the articles are short and rather light-weight. It's not that people doing these jobs are more notable, it's that we pay more attention to them. I'd like to see criteria that would help us determine what makes a business and a business person notable that goes beyond this kinds of routine reporting. LaMona (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply to We don't have any policy or guideline on what determines notability of a certain kind of people, except for professors. The criteria listed in WP:BIO are inclusive criterias, not exclusive ones. In other words, a person who meets one of the additional citeria in WP:BIO may probably qualify an article, and he may still qualify one if he fails any of the additional citeria but he has sufficient media coverage. (I have seen some people mistake additional citeria as exclusive citeria, maybe you are one of them.) There was a time when we made guidelines on what makes a certain kind of people notable, based on their fame or success. (See this version of WP:BIO.) But it is no longer the case since we have WP:GNG.
 * Moving forward, your argument that business people get mentioned in news articles with great frequency is not supported by evidence. (Actually, we only have 3424 pages in this category. (Category:American_businesspeople))Even if it's true, it just means business people are inherently more notable than other topics. From time to time, we delete articles of large shopping malls or major streets. (See WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Shopping malls/archive) Although they are of importance in a way, they don't belong to wikipedia for few reliable sources cover them. The same logic applies to bussiness people. Some of them are not that important, but they can still be included in wikipedia once major national media begins to cover them.
 * But anyway, being a CEO of a major company does qualify WP:ANYBIO.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 05:42, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - At a very lower level it meets the general notability guideline. References from Indian Express and above mentioned by is third party reliable references.  C ute st Penguin  ( Talk ) 09:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep CEO of what is apparently a major company (we need an article on the company also, I think).  DGG ( talk ) 01:44, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Certainly meets WP:GNG.--180.172.239.231 (talk) 04:06, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, evidently written about (sometimes in depth) in multiple reliable news sources. I'm not entirely sure what has happened since last week, it seems to have been 'cleaned-up' and several other sources (and key info) removed. To be honest this article wasn't an easy one to monitor because of the issues COI editor, but that's not a reason for deletion either. Sionk (talk) 09:52, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete In the history, the major contributor is named Sanjayrgupta48. So it could possibly be an autobiography. RomtamTalkToMe 13:45, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
