Hello, Aranya27. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Justdial, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. BilCat ( talk) 08:42, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi @ Aranya27:,
Please place this template on your user page, that is, on User:Aranya27: {{UserboxCOI|1=Justdial}}.
Here is more information about this template in case you'd like to know more about its purpose and contents: /info/en/?search=Template:UserboxCOI.
This template helps the contributor community at Wikipedia know and recognise that you are a legitimate representative of the company. I have placed a corresponding template on the Talk:Justdial, in the section entitled "Connected contributors". -- Rohini ( talk) 16:24, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
@ Aranya27: I have fixed V.S.S. Mani's name in the lead paragraph of the article on Justdial based on your statement on Talk:Justdial. However, the sentence that contains his name is referenced by this article published on Forbes India: http://www.forbesindia.com/article/big-bet/just-dial-new-world-new-game-for-vss-mani/38615/1 which mentions his name as "Venkatachalam Sthanu Subramani Mani". If Forbes India can rectify this name, that would be great. If not, then one or more reliable sources where his name is spelt correctly are necessary to establish his correct name. There is a chance that the error could be reintroduced into the Justdial article in the future, based on the Forbes India article.

Rohini: I have corrected the name. There are multiple articles that state it. There is a brand new one on afaqs, which I have also updated in the reference section,
https://www.afaqs.com/news/story/54623_Can-Just-Dial-get-us-to-delete-Zomato-MakeMyTrip-Practo-apps
There is one more ET article that says VSS Mani:
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/vss-mani-the-man-who-dialled-the-right-numbers/articleshow/7925169.cms
It is difficult to go back and correct Forbes article since it is much old, I am sure we can acknowledge much more recent articles with the correct name.
I have made the change picking up the exact line from afaqs.

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, like you did in the article Justdial. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. -- For making a COI-edit using a promotional/ advertorial and unreliable reference that contains plagiarised content.
