Non-notable businessman fails WP:NBIO, WP:GNG, likely WP:PROMO. The sourcing is primarily WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS and/or unbylined articles from WP:NEWSORGINDIA sources. He ran unsuccessfully for India's upper house of parliament, which turned up results in the WP:BEFORE search, but consensus is that unsuccessful candidates do not qualify as notable based on routine campaign coverage. He also fails WP:ANYBIO #1, as the Rajyotsava Prashasti is given to several dozen people annually and is not likely to be the kind of award like a Nobel or Oscar that makes someone instantly notable.
