Telegram Achieves Profitability for the First Time, Reports $1 Billion in Annual Revenue


In a significant milestone for the company, Pavel Durov, the founder and chief executive of the popular encrypted messaging platform Telegram, announced on Monday that the app has achieved net profitability for the first time in its history. 
This achievement comes as the platform also surpassed $1 billion in annual revenue, marking a major shift in the financial trajectory of the once non-profitable app.

Telegram, which has long been known for its emphasis on privacy and secure communication, has steadily grown in popularity since its launch in 2013. Initially, the app gained attention for its unique features, including end-to-end encryption, self-destructing messages, and the ability to create large groups and channels. These features, combined with its commitment to user privacy, have made Telegram a favorite among individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking a secure alternative to other messaging platforms.

The platform's profitability in 2024 is a significant turning point for Telegram, especially considering its previous reliance on outside funding. Over the years, Telegram had faced financial challenges, often operating at a loss while continuing to expand its user base. Despite this, Durov maintained a strong commitment to the platform’s independence and refusal to rely on traditional monetization methods such as advertisements.

However, Telegram has increasingly diversified its revenue streams in recent years. The introduction of premium subscriptions, which offer enhanced features for users willing to pay for additional capabilities, has contributed significantly to the company's earnings. Additionally, Telegram has also begun monetizing its API services and offering various business tools aimed at generating further revenue.

Durov’s announcement highlights the success of these initiatives, with Telegram now poised to become a more sustainable and competitive player in the messaging app industry. As Telegram continues to grow its user base, the company remains focused on maintaining its commitment to privacy while exploring new opportunities for monetization. With the achievement of profitability, Telegram is expected to further strengthen its position in the market and continue to innovate within the tech space.

For now, Telegram’s future looks promising, as it continues to gain traction in the global messaging app arena, solidifying its reputation as a leading platform for secure communication.

Following his release from prison for the murder of his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, Oscar Pistorius, the disgraced former Paralympian track star, has resurfaced after eight years.  Now 37 years old, Pistorius served nine years of a 13-year prison sentence for fatally shooting Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in 2013. During his trial, Pistorius claimed that he mistook Steenkamp for a burglar when he fired shots through a closed bathroom door in the middle of the night. However, prosecutors argued that he knew it was Steenkamp on the other side because they had just had an argument, and he witnessed her running into the bathroom and slamming the door. Recently, images captured by South African news site Netwerk24 show Pistorius with a wide grin on his face, but he appears a mere shadow of his former self. His hair has turned fully gray, and he is noticeably thinner compared to his previous weight gain during his time in prison. Since his release in January, Pistorius ...
