Telegram cooperation with Malaysia
On Saturday, March 2, the Malaysian Minister of Communications held a personal meeting with Pavel Durov in Dubai. The Durov Code drew attention to the news.
The main topics of the meeting were platform regulation and the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence. Durov expressed interest in further discussions about the possibility of cooperation with the Malaysian government to optimize the regulatory aspects of the platform and promised to expand Telegram's activities in the country.
Pavel Durov also announced the platform’s readiness to cooperate with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to improve regulation and rally forces in the fight against fraud and gambling.
Last May, Malaysia's communications minister reported that Telegram was "unwilling to cooperate" with the ministry, despite numerous requests for a meeting.
Statistics for 2022 indicate that Malaysia has 32 million internet users, of which 28 million are social media users. Telegram is used by 56% of internet users in the country, giving a rough estimate of between 15 and 18 million users in Malaysia.

👨💻 This week we launched the first batch of Telegram Business features. Users can now convert their personal Telegram accounts into business accounts. As a result, they will be able to add their location and opening hours, organize chats with color labels, use automatic greeting/away messages and shortcuts for quick replies.
That’s just the start — we are shipping more Telegram Business features this month. One of these features will revolutionize how people interact with chatbots. Telegram Business accounts will be able to seamlessly add chatbots as their invisible secretaries to respond to all or certain chats. With AI, these chatbots can bring customer service automation to an entirely new level.
The new Bot APIs for developers will become available later this month, all for free. Stay tuned — more exciting stuff is coming for businesses and developers on Telegram this season.

Pavel Durov said that Telegram was valued at $30 billion before a possible IPO In an interview , Durov clarified that the $30 billion estimate was made, among other things, by global technology funds. At the same time, the Financial Times noted, he ruled…
Each Telegram user costs the messenger $0.7 per year, said Pavel Durov. Every year, about €630 million is required to maintain operations. This is almost 62,391,000,000 rubles.
Moreover, Durov’s team has only 50 people. If Telegram manages to achieve self-sufficiency, then an initial public offering (IPO) may take place.
Durov believes that this will happen in 2025, “if not this year.” There are offers from potential investors worth more than $30 billion, but the sale of Telegram is excluded:

The main reason we started monetizing is because we wanted to remain independent. We see value [in the IPO] as a means of democratizing access to Telegram's value.

All large social media apps are easy targets for criticism due to the content they host. I can’t recall any major social platform whose moderation has been consistently praised by traditional media.
The media coverage of Meta's moderation efforts has been particularly negative for most of its history. Interestingly enough, Meta was also the first social media company to have reached a trillion-dollar-plus valuation.
Telegram will likely have to go through similar growth stages before it surpasses legacy platforms. As we rapidly rise in scale and significance, we shall solve any potential challenges the same way we do everything else — with efficiency, innovation and respect for privacy and freedom of speech.

💰 Last week, we issued $330M worth of bonds to ensure Telegram can keep expanding at an accelerated speed.
This bond offering was oversubscribed, and we were delighted to have global funds of the highest caliber with impeccable reputations as participants. The terms of the bonds (when adjusted for the Federal Reserve rate) were the most favorable for Telegram in the history of our company.
I am proud that every time we issue bonds we get better at this process. The increased demand for our bonds shows that global financial institutions value Telegram’s growth in audience and monetization. This will further solidify our position as an independent platform that is able to challenge the “Goliaths” of our industry.
