This article is incoherent but seems to be a promotional biography of a non-notable businessman who has written a book, which has had little RS coverage. He, himself, seems to have had even less. I don't think most of the refs are good RS, except for The Hindu, which only offers a listing confirming that the book exists without a review. Much of the rest is press releases and the like. A quick Google is not encouraging. DanielRigal (talk) 11:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree with nomination. Often, articles that contain "...is an upcoming..." in the first sentence are clearly self promotion. This falls into that category. Timneu22 (talk) 15:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
