Non-notable company. Nothing significant but another startup company. For being in Wikipedia need to be much more significant than this. Else Wikipedia will become a Startup directory. 1000s of startups happens every day. Just another one. Article is written only for company promotional and advertising purposes. References are very poor in terms of coverage they provide. No depth coverage by independent media for its notability but script given to large media group. Nothing significant or notable about the company to be here. does not meet notability criteria for companies. Once in a lifetime coverage in popular media is not enough to be part of its significance. or being released as press or promotional exercises. Light2021 (talk) 10:04, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looking at English-language Indian sources only, without needing to invoke WP:NEXIST for non-English sources, it seems that WP:CORPDEPTH is met. The Economic Times,   The Hindu,   The Deccan Herald  Daily News and Analysis, The New Indian Express  and India.com  have all run significant coverage of this company that confirms among other things, that this company is the e-catering contracted by Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation.

 * Merely the coverage does not define its notability standards. As nominated the reasons, such companies are able to garner enough PR at once for their own promotions. After-all all the mention agencies are commercial in nature as well. Once in a lifetime coverage does not harm anybody. By this logic Wikipedia will end and become directory for such companies which somehow succeeded in publishing themselves in popular media. Light2021 (talk) 21:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep: per significant coverage listed above by Patar Knight. As for "Merely the coverage does not define its notability standards", actually, it does. The relevant policy is WP:GNG, which states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." This company has received this type of coverage, as evidenced above, and it therefore meets our notability guidelines. Safehaven86 (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: "Once in a lifetime coverage" is not a recognised criterion for deletion, and if something analogous to ONEEVENT (for people) is meant, then it does not apply here, with frequent coverage in the Indian press:
 * Hindustan Times 31 May 2014, 6 August 2014, 20 February 2016
 * Economic Times 28 August 2014, 3 August 2015, 14 January 2016, 2 March 2016
 * The Hindu 3 July 2016, 13 August 2016
