The pr firm they hired did a good job which would definitely confuse the average editor. In actuality, this is your quintessential example of an WP:ADMASQ, the sources used in the article are best described as fake referencing. More interesting is a WP:BEFORE actually turns up hits but unfortunately all hits are extended announcements and PR sponsored posts that lack editorial oversight and are unreliable. Furthermore a Forbes 30 under 30 is by no means a yardstick for determining notability. I however salute the PR firm that created this mirage of notability, they indeed tried their best. They fail GNG, ANYBIO & BASIC. Celestina007 (talk) 21:39, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete. Good gravy. I'll try my best to assume good faith, but that won't keep me from noting that the sources provided are essentially useless for notability purposes. Many lack reliability or independence, and those that remain seem to be only trivial mentions, name-checking Hiremath while discussing his business or something else. My searches aren't finding anything substantial, either. I'll observe that there may be a slightly greater chance that his company is notable, although most of the sources would likely founder on the shoals of WP:NCORP. But this gentleman certainly isn't notable, regardless of the author's valiant attempt. See WP:OVERCOME. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:48, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: per nom. Nothing to support an article for BLP on WP. Kolma8 (talk) 16:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - unambiguously spam, given the "contributions" of the author (whom I've blocked). MER-C 14:40, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
