[tanjimajuha20]

As Khachatur Pombukhchan explained, the company continues to be interested in purchasing assets. "We are gathering a full-fledged extended IT expertise and putting things in order with what MegaFon is and what assets we need: they must be either completely telecommunications or 100% complementary to telecom," Pombukhchan explained.

He recalled that in 2021, belize cell phone number list
MegaFon acquired 65% in the distribution company Revo Charge - now it is one of the main players in terms of supplying subscriber equipment to Russia. "This is the same transborder that is very effective for us now. We supply phones, mainly from China, both for ourselves and even for competitors. In the near future, we intend to increase our ownership in Revo Charge to 100%," the head of the operator said.

MegaFon also transferred the service company Pikta, an operator of personnel and accounting administration, into its own ownership, and continues to transfer a number of technology partners: for example, OneFactor, a developer of platforms for working with big data. In addition, the operator increased its stake in Quantera, a joint venture (JV) of MegaFon and Quantum-A, which was created earlier this year and is engaged in the development of digital products, from 50 to 100%. According to Pombukhchan, when creating this JV, the company wanted to "take a closer look and test business hypotheses." "We approached Revo Charge with the same logic. And now we are ready to completely buy out these companies as business areas for MegaFon, since we understand that they are interesting to us in the long term," he said.

In addition to developing the core business, the operator is looking towards the b2o (working with other operators), b2g (working with government agencies) and b2b (corporate segment) segments. "Due to the departure of Microsoft and other Western vendors, a supply vacuum has formed on the market with a huge demand for cloud solutions, cybersecurity solutions, office solutions, etc. For us, these are great opportunities," Pombukhchan concluded.
