I admit I find it difficult to judge these "entrepreneur" articles because it is usually trivially easy to find a boatload of sources that drop the name of the subject somewhere (usually quoting soundbites). Here, however, I'm getting the strong impression that then coverage is exactly that - trivial. None of the referenced sources provide any kind of independent in-depth cover of Shukla. The one source that focuses on him (ref 1) is a straight-up promotional interview. The rest is passing mentions, the aforementioned soundbites, press releases and promo featurelets. - By my lights, sufficient notability is not demonstrated by this salad of bits and bobs. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 15:21, 21 July 2018 (UTC) Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 15:21, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

- Delete the 2nd paragraph in the article is the most amazing collection of name-dropping I've ever seen. The article is not really about Venktesh Shukla. Smallbones( smalltalk) 23:37, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Thanks you for the clarification, I am not in to biographies but I was positive about this BLP after reading WP:GNG. His name was already mentioned on 3 pages of Wikipedia, so I thought it's worth adding. Anyway, I'll do more extensive research to see if there's something out there.
