Kwan founders decide to buy out CEO's stake in order to protect the company and retain A-list clientele
Anirban Das Blah
Blah had reportedly founded the talent management company along with Indranil Das Blah and Vijay Subramaniam, among others. The statement came close on the heels of claims that Blah's ouster was a facade. A message that was circulated yesterday apparently by a KWAN employee read, "We had a town hall meeting today and the entire staff has been warned to stay quiet about it. Anirban Blah is not out of the agency. To our notice, this is issued so [that] no client leaves the agency. To start good talks about Kwan again, we are asked to say he is out of services with Kwan. That's the not the truth. What about clients like Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Kalki, Shraddha, Kriti Sanon, and so many more [who] are still quiet about their own agent. Anirban tells us these girls are only made by him and tells us to spoil their name if they plan to leave Kwan (sic)." However, an insider from the firm quashed the claims, saying, "The meeting was a reassessment of job responsibilities post-Anirban's exit. The atmosphere is tense given the recent developments."
