Comment: On behalf of Cognizant, I am submitting a draft article about businessperson Ravi Kumar Singisetti (Wikidata entry) as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Given my COI, which I've also disclosed on the Talk page, I will not publish the article to the main space and ask independent editors to review for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. For this project, Cognizant has provided feedback to ensure accuracy. I'm happy to address any questions or concerns that may arise during the review process. Thanks in advance.
