Journalist Tucker Carlson interviews Telegram Founder on Lean HR Operations with only 30 Staff and One Product Manager.

Quick Summary:

What Happened: Durov told conservative media personality and former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, that despite scaling up Telegram to nearly a billion users, with 2.5 million signing up each day, he has managed to keep his team lean.

Built by Russian-born Emirati entrepreneur Pavel Durov, the service has nearly a billion users, but no human resources (HR) department and one engineer for nearly 30 million users.

Not just that, Durov says Telegram has not raised funds by offloading equity.It has raised over $1.5 billion via bond sales so far, and $1.7 billion via a cryptocurrency project.
