Sentence 11

Before:


Our clientele includes one of the largest US banks, a bank with highest NPS in the US, the largest insurance company in the US, one of the leading Oil and Gas Company, and a top Airline reservation company.

After:
Our clientele includes one of the largest US banks, another with the highest NPS in the US, the largest insurance company in the US, a leading oil and gas company, and a top airline reservation company.

Notes
  • Changed "a bank with highest NPS in the US" to "another with the highest NPS in the US" since the first part of the sentence already uses the word "banks" so I didn't want to repeat the word.
  • Changed "with highest NPS" to "with the highest NPS" since we need to use a definite article there.
  • Changed "one of the leading Oil and Gas Company" to "a leading oil and gas company"  since it conveys the same meaning while being grammatically correct. (You never say one of the leading Oil and Gas Company - it is always one of many, so one of the companies, not "one of the company")
  • Oil and Gas Company need not have O, G and C capitalized.
  • Airline need not have 'A' capitalized.

After: From helping foreign clients tell their stories in India to enabling Indian entrepreneurs to take their business to a global scale, the team has a successful record. Notes: 'Help' was used twice, so replaced with enabling. #word choice.  Also 'enabling' (-ing verb) to keep the parallel construction of 'helping' used earlier intact. businesses vs. entrepreneurs - word choice.

Sentence 1

Before: Our children are our future, is an often quoted statement, which ideally refers to the fact that it is our children who have the power to initiate growth, progress and change in the times to come. After: Our children are our future. This is an oft-quoted statement, which re-iterates that it is our children who have the power to initiate growth, progress and change in times to come.  Notes a. Never place a comma before a verb. ‘Is’ - is a verb.  b. 'often quoted’ is usually written as 'oft-quoted’ c. Don’t use ‘ideally’ unnecessarily. d. 'the times to come.’  to be changed to ‘times to come’. ‘The’ is a definite article. Please read up on the use of definite articles here:  https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/540/01/ e. Avoid constructions with ‘the fact that’ as much as possible.
