Focus on freedom, not wealth

Impeccable approach to business
The owner of Telegram noted that its rapid development is the result of his approach to doing business. He remains the sole product manager and head of the company, devoting all his time to working on the messenger.
Despite the rumors, Durov confirmed that he has no plans to hold an IPO in the near future. He noted that the current staff of the Telegram company is only about 30 people.
