I know *I* haven’t seen an X-O bike in a VEI issue. Have *you* seen one appear yet?Blood of Heroes wrote:I'm pretty sure this is the reason. Has to be.Aram wrote:The truth is quite simple. Jason was upset that Warren and Dinesh wouldn’t bring back the X-O bike. So he left.
I agree, seems like a pretty clear cut reason, right here.

Wow. So he comes in, the stock drops 70% and then he either leaves or is forced out and they say he left for personal reasons? Both are bad. I feel bad for him.emitremmusneves wrote:https://www.google.com/amp/s/tech.econo ... t/66473204

Re: Why did Jason Kothari exit Valiant?
What the hell does "required to spend more time abroad due to personal reasons.” even mean?!
And it immediately goes on to say, "Vishal Mehta, managing director of Infibeam had earlier in June said that Kothari will help [the company] realise its global plan and "drive the next era in the Company’s evolution.”"
So again, this guy got a big opportunity and mucked it up.

Re: Why did Jason Kothari exit Valiant?
I think we all know that when someone leaves for 'personal reasons' it's usually because they were asked to leave but are trying to save face. I believe the respectful response is to not publicly question it even though we know the truth. I think we should honor that. I mean he's left for personal reasons from Valiant, Housing.com, FreeCharge, Snapdeal and now this (and that was all from a five minute google search) so it's pretty obvious what's happening. I thank him for whatever part he played, small or big, in helping Valiant start but seeing how everything has gone for him since I'm glad he wasn't there once Valiant started.emitremmusneves wrote:Yeah. What the hell does "required to spend more time abroad due to personal reasons.” even mean?!

Re: Why did Jason Kothari exit Valiant?
You're right. That's true. I just wish he didn't *SQUEE* about Dinesh in the process. I'd respect him, and even feel bad for him, if it wasn't for that one thing.syzhang28 wrote:I think we all know that when someone leaves for 'personal reasons' it's usually because they were asked to leave but are trying to save face.

Re: Why did Jason Kothari exit Valiant?
He bad mouths Dinesh every opportunity he gets. And takes credit for everything good that's happened to Valiant. He also credits himself for the sale of DMG. Claiming he turned around the company and sold it at a huge profit to DMG. As you can see from all his paid articles online, he has branded himself as a "turnaround expert" with a lot of embellished stories.
From heresay I believe he was pushed out of Valiant because he had no vision/direction for the company, was a very toxic person to be around, and didn't do much to take Valiant forward.

I think what is clear here that everyone is stepping around is that Jason slept with Dino's mother.

greg wrote:I do not have insider knowledge, but I will guess (for whatever that's worth, possibly nothing)...
Jason Kothari and Dinesh Shamdasani grew up together (as best friends(?)), but when they got to college, Dinesh went to USC film school and Jason went to Wharton Business at UPenn... opposite sides of the country.
So, having the opportunity to buy an entertainment company (Valiant) and work together was exciting for both of them, but for different reasons... creative (Dinesh) and business (Jason).
After a few years of Valiant work, primarily planning, legal, etc., it seems entirely possible that Jason was just ready to move on to another business challenge. Dinesh, being in it for the creative challenge, wasn't going anywhere.
I'm sure there are a million thoughts and feelings that go with that amount of time and work, but (again, just guessing) I'd say it might be as simple as Jason wanted business opportunities that he wasn't getting at Valiant.
I always got the feeling that Dino has more emotional investment in the properties than Jason did. Regardless of anything else, for this, I would be shocked to discover it didn’t cause some bumps along the way. I wish them both well.

He sounds like he's not good for business to me.

This would all be completely true... except for the fact that HE'S GAY! But pretends to be straight.

I'm not sure what your goal is 'sevensummertime' but judging from your continuous Jason-obsessed posts, you seem to be a bit of a 'loot' yourself.emitremmusneves wrote:This would all be completely true... except for the fact that HE'S GAY! But pretends to be straight.

Why don't you tell me why you shouldn't be banned for violating board rules that others here seem to be handling just fine?
Are we supposed to be (angry, outraged, vengeful, titilated) by a former Valiant executive's unsubstantiated unimportant personal evaluation on this Valiant fan message board from... who are you again?
