The result was keep. There's quite a bit of in-depth coverage in the mainstream press, and no real argument for deletion has been put forward by any of the !voters. (non-admin closure) Kraxler (talk) 17:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another startup whose coverage is limited to the fact they received funding, in media that covers that. Claims like "ranked 16th in list of 25 best" and "9th Asian startup" and so on are just scraping the bottom of the notability barrel. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.205.250.157 (talk) 19:11, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added links on the page to news sources that are entirely about the start-up and not at all about its funding. Check them out and see if they satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH:

• Uncertain but ultimately draft & userfy for now (delete for now) - This has gotten considerable, searches here (starts fading by page nine but these are the best results of all), here, here, here and here. I thought of "weak keeping" but all in all, this may still be incidental coverage and we can wait until there's a little better. SwisterTwister talk 22:16, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep The startup gets as much coverage online as is possible here in India and does feature quite a bit on paper. It might also be worth considering that the website is the top price comparison website in India and is much more popular (ranked 95th on alexa in India) than closest competitor Jungee (291st on alexa in India) by Amazon.com. So considering this and the reasonable amount of coverage online, I'd still suggest to keep the page. 49.205.250.157 (talk) 23:46, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the extensive coverage in reliable sources provided by 49.205.250.157 (talk · contribs) above. The articles in The Economic Times, Business Line, and Business Standard provide substantial coverage about the subject so that Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline is met.
