Existence was checked against origin/main (git ls-tree) before building - no record existed. FAMILY-TIE CORRECTION - the English article and its Forbes India citation state that Vayalil married Shabeena, the eldest daughter of M. A. Yusuff Ali (Lulu Group founder, whose record person/ma-yusuff-ali exists on main); no text read makes him Azad Moopen's son-in-law, and the wave brief's contrary premise does not survive the article. No relation edge is written - a father-in-law is not a standard relation predicate and his wife has no record - so the tie is carried in prose only. Faith - no text names a religion or school for Vayalil himself, and the AMU honour and marriage background settle nothing under the founder doctrine, so unknown. No place entity exists on main for Kozhikode or Abu Dhabi, so no birthplace is recorded.",
