Article lacks substantial coverage in independent reliable sources for verification. The initial batch of references all appear to derive from a press release, while the final batch relate to articles by him, not about him - the 'Career' section is otherwise devoid of references, with no citations to support the assertions made.

Delete. Sources all seem to be relatively unreliable, and the more reliable one only makes a passing mention of the subject. Chagropango (talk) 11:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Routine coverage of a routine technocrat. No significant, in-depth coverage from secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:11, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citation can be improvedThe subject is IT Startup system enabler and currently the Chairman of India's 3rd most progressing state in Start-up list. He was quoted as one of the global IoT influencers. Citation updated RufinaSmith (talk) 12:18, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Linkedin creep again. Nothing notable found. Being a "notable alumni" isn't important. Oaktree b (talk) 14:42, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please add the earlier AfD from 2020 WP:Articles for deletion/Omkar Rai to this. I could not find the instructions to do it. Omkar Rai, Dr Omkar Rai and Dr. Omkar Rai were all turned into redirects per the earlier AfD. Jay 15:31, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect not appropriateThe redirect is the subject's former association and gives vague and inadequate information to the community. Subject can be considered notable under WP:ACADEMIC#5 and #6 considering 1) Awarded Global IoT Influencer 2) Conferred Digital Icon award for spearheading a silent IT intervention across the country 3) Considered a change maker and enabler in the start-up ecosystem in India. More citations can be added RufinaSmith (talk) 04:52, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
