Non-notable app. No significant coverage in reliable sources, just advertorial spam and the odd mention in in-bubble trade magazines.
The article was created by a paid editor and has been edited by multiple paid editors and SPAs. It was moved out of draftspace twice, circumventing AfC, in violation of WP:PAY. A clear misuse of Wikipedia for promotion. – Joe (talk) 13:19, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

- Keep Wouldn't the subject pass WP:ORGDEPTH? Economics times, business standard, financial express, DNA - all major Indian publications have a full feature on it not mere mentions. It is the second most used indic keyboard in India after Google.
- Can this article be improved? (WP:PAID - I have been paid to edit this article so I wanted to understand the possibilities) Wikilover2604 (talk) 22:53, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Wikilover2604: It would help forward the discussion if you linked to the articles you are referencing. – Joe (talk) 23:15, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Article fails GNG. I could not find any independent references from the press (ones that don't rely on quotations from the company or its representatives) or has independent analysis or opinion. All others are are Primary references or PR announcements. As Joe Roe has stated it is advertorial spam Hagennos (talk) 20:53, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - while there is coverage, Hagennos rightly points out that it is not independent. In addition, the article is simply a promotional brochure. Onel5969 TT me 13:46, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
