WP:NBIO. Sources are weaker than they first appear:
The Hacker News doesn't appear reliable. (Not to be confused with
Hacker News, although The Hacker News's favicon is obviously derivative, which is... sketchy.)
Silicon India also doesn't appear reliable, and the mention is just a listicle.
Pentest looks borderline to me, and may accept user submitted content. Regardless, the specific claim that he was the first Indian on the cover couldn't be verified.
The India Today source is reliable, but it provides no specific information about Rathod at all. It lists him as one of several "famous personalities" in a profile of ethical hacking as an "offbeat career".
Delete and I had actually speedied this in April but it was removed with absolutely no explanations which is typical; examining this simply found nothing convincingly better at all. I frankly would've even PRODed sooner myself but I was not interested if it was simply going to be removed also....at least we have G4 now for the future.

That's why I went with the AFD. From the editing history it seemed like a prod was just delaying the inevitable.
