Submission declined on 13 February 2024 by CNMall41 (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

- Comment: The first Inc42 reference is possible, but the second falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA as does the Forbes India content. Being known as a 30 under 30 member is not the same as a Fellow or the like. Still needs to show significant coverage in reliable sources. CNMall41 (talk) 00:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: It seems very likely to me that this person could be notable based on sources not in the draft. With that being said, there appear to be no independent, reliable sources sources cited outside of perhaps Forbes India; see WP:SELFPUB, WP:FORBESCON, and WP:NEWSORGINDIA for details.

Paras Chopra is an Indian entrepreneur. He is the founder and chairman of Wingify, a website testing platform. He currently serves as the CEO of Nintee. He has been listed in the Forbes 30 Under 30 India and Asia in 2016.[2]
Early Life[edit]
Chopra was born on 3rd of June to a Hindu family. Paras was an avid reader from childhood and was considered good at academics. After his schooling, he opted for a biotech degree and won a gold medal.[3]
Career[edit]
Chopra started his professional journey right after graduating from Delhi College of Engineering. He joined Aspiring Minds, a global assessment company that helps organizations identify and hire talent. He worked as an R&D Engineer, where he worked on machine learning models and used artificial intelligence to design employability tests to accurately assess candidates at scale.[3]
Chopra quit his job after working for over a year to start his venture Wingify in 2010. His initial goal was to make INR 50K in his first month (or $1,000). It was his way to prove to himself that he was not a failure.[4]
Wingify[edit]
Chopra bootstrapped Wingify with his friend Sparsh Gupta (currently serving as CTO of Wingify). Gupta held a masters degree from Oxford and had previously worked in London. He handled the tech developments at Wingify, while Chopra focused on growth, sales and marketing, and future development.[3] Wingify is a B2B Software as a service company whose core feature is its software A/B testing tool "Visual Website Optimizer" (shortly known as VWO). VWO allows live testing of a website with different variables. This enables organizations to test different versions of a site and check which one performs better.
Wingify bagged global clients such as Microsoft, General Electric, Groupon, Airbnb, The Walt Disney Company, Advanced Micro Devices, and Hotels.com.[3] The company clocked $18 million in revenues in 2018. Paras stepped down as the CEO of Wingify in 2018.[5]
