The book delves deep into Kothari's life—filled with highs, lows, and personal challenges—and offers readers a rare, behind-the-scenes look into the mind of a successful young business leader.

The story begins with Kothari scraping together funds to save his favorite childhood comic book company from bankruptcy. Over the years, he turned Valiant into the third-largest superhero company after Marvel and DC, showcasing his unique ability to turn around distressed businesses. Kothari’s journey also includes his work with major Indian Internet icons, advising industry giants like Softbank, Balaji Telefilms, and Emaar, while rescuing billions in value.

Irrationally Passionate is a highly personal account filled with life-changing lessons and invaluable insights. From his early job as an assistant to Jackie Chan in Hong Kong to learning strategy from Muay Thai boxers in Thailand, Kothari’s life is a testament to perseverance, risk-taking, and continuous self-improvement. The book’s philosophical reflections on life, work, family, and spirituality will inspire readers to reconsider their own perspectives and motivations. With practical advice and an open, authentic narrative, this book is a must-read for aspiring entrepreneurs and anyone seeking inspiration to pursue their passion.
