Path to KG entry: (1) Wikidata Q-entry (Wikipedia stub helps). (2) Schema.org Organization markup with sameAs across LinkedIn, Crunchbase, etc. (3) Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) across the web. (4) Earned mentions on authoritative sites. Indian B2B SaaS often invests in KG presence at Series B / C stage.
