Appears to be a non-notable businessman. I don't think there's enough in-depth coverage in reliable sources to make him notable, and the sources which are used in the article seem to be very low-quality (blogs, ad-focused publications, etc). Fyddlestix (talk) 01:56, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Did not realize this article had been previously nominated. I still don't think he satisfies notability requirements, though; if you look carefully at the google news results (there are only 9), most of them are clearly labelled as blogs or press releases. The ones that might be reliable sources focus on the company, not the person, and mention Kulkarni only in passing. The article claims that he was named "entrepreneur of the month" by siliconindia magazine, but in reality that issue seems to list 40 or 50 people for that month's "cover story," and says nothing about him being "entrepreneur of the month." What's more, the link is to an article by Kulkarni, not about him. Fyddlestix (talk) 02:07, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete no claim to notability in the article, just another business executive, I'm not impressed by "entrepreneur of the month" (if it were true) conferred by an in-trade magazine, web searches turn up social media, directories and blogs Kraxler (talk) 15:57, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep article is well sourced with verifiable information demonstrating his notability. Imsare (talk) 02:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is sourced but the person lacks notability. Dr. Dinesh Karia^{(Talk) (contribs)} — Preceding undated comment added 13:11, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per above. Does not establish notability guidlines for WP:gng, W1i2k3i45 (talk) 18:03, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
