Request for Article Update - COI Disclosure
Hello, I am the Head of Brand & Communication at DBL Group. I am requesting an update to the DBL Group article as the current information is significantly outdated (referencing data from 2013-2016). I have prepared a neutral, encyclopedic draft based on recent independent secondary sources (The Business Standard, Textile Today, etc.) to ensure the page accurately reflects the company's current scale and operations. I have formatted the request below using Wiki-markup for your convenience. I am not editing the page directly to comply with COI guidelines. I would appreciate a volunteer reviewer's help in updating the article. Thank you. Rahil Abubakar (talk) 11:21, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
