Hi Surya,

You can try the above code sample. Let me know if the provided code sample solves the issue. Always remember that querying, inserting or updating an object is best done when done through a collection rather doing it with an object. Since you are manually typing the name of the account and getting the related contacts and industry check if the account exists if not that can also throw null pointer exception
