- @CNMall41: Thank you for reviewing the submision. I am okay with the removal of the awards listing and now have deleted the Awards section from the page. If you find any issues, please feel free to fix and review the page. I read the guidelines regarding WP: COI, which you pointed and I am okay to disclose that I work in the company. However, after going through important Wiki guidelines and reading multiple Wiki pages in the same edu category, I prepared the page and its content. Please kindly review.
