Nature of Operations

Reliability, Inc. is a leading provider of Employer of Record and temporary Media and Information Technology (“IT”) staffing services that operates, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, The Maslow Media Group, Inc (“MMG”), (collectively, “Reliability” or the “Company”), primarily within the United States of America in four industry segments: Employer of Record (“EOR”), Recruiting and Staffing, Direct Hire, and Video and Multimedia Production, which provides script-to-screen services. Our Staffing segment provides skilled field talent on a nationwide basis for Media, IT, and finance and accounting client partner projects. Video Production involves assembling and providing crews for special projects, webcasting, live events, post-production services, and production management.

Reliability was incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas in 1953, but the then principal business of the Company started in 1971 was closed down in 2007. The Company completed a reverse merger with MMG (the “Merger”) on October 29, 2019.

Company Background

Linda Maslow founded MMG initially in 1988 and incorporated the firm under the name The Maslow Media Group Inc. in March 1992.

On November 9, 2016, Linda Maslow sold the business to Vivos Holdings, LLC (“Vivos Holdings”) owned by Dr. Naveen Doki (“Dr. Doki”) and Silvija Valleru (“Ms. Valleru”).

In 2019, Vivos Holdings collaborated on a share swap of MMG for other Vivos companies with individuals who included, but were not limited to, Dr. Doki, Shirisha Janumpally (“Mrs. Janumpally”), wife of Dr. Doki, Kalyan Pathuri (“Mr. Pathuri”) husband of Silvija Valleru, Igly Trust, and Judos Trust.
