On Monday at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, we’ll be grilling Pavel Durov, the CEO and co-founder of Telegram, a messaging application that claims to have attracted over 60 million active users in less than two years since its launch in 2013. That would put it on course to becoming a significant player in the messaging space.

Prior to Telegram, Durov founded VK – the most popular social network in Russia and neighboring Russian-Speaking countries, with over 100 million active users. However, he left Russia and VK in early 2014 to focus on developing Telegram — so we’ll be unpacking his reasons for leaving, and how he moves his team around the planet to stay close to him…
