Comment: Entire large sections of this biography are devoid of inline citations. As a minimum, I think there should be a reliable source (see WP:RS) for every paragraph and every substantial claim. The tone is cloyingly promotional (for example, "Akbar Shahpurwala will forever be remembered for triggering the Look Smart, Feel Good, Do Well culture in aspiring Indians and thus participate in building a strong Nation!"); such statements should be removed. Overall tone needs to be factual and neutral (WP:nPOV) and repetition of details (two mentions, without citation, of a ramp walk, for example) should be avoided.
