Hey Ayan, thanks for creating an issue for the duplicate and mismatched naming.

For anyone interested in solving the issue - currently we use name of the organization, after making it lowercase and removing anything but lowercase alphabets (a-z) and numbers (0-9), as the key used to determine is two organisations are same.

I've not explored much, though I've an intuition that there must be a better way to do the same. We can also look towards solving it the tedious way that may include matching abbreviations, considering same if 80% letters match, etc.

This is an interesting and analytical challenge to solve - looking forward to out of the box solutions.
