In April 2022, the Russian developer ON ToDo announced the move of 440 employees to Bishkek amid a special operation Russia on. To Ukraine
"Our Russian office faced a lot of problems in connection with the imposed sanctions. As a technology company, we are very dependent on foreign services and software, "comments company spokesman Zarina Umarova on the reason for leaving the Russian market.
At this time, the company ToDo has representative offices in Tel Aviv, Nur-Sultan and in Moscow. The Moscow office will have representative functions for our clients from Russia, operating activities from the Russian Federation will be completely transferred to our office in Bishkek.
The choice fell on Bishkek for several reasons: a favorable investment environment for IT companies has been created in the country, the market for local digital services has not yet been developed as much as in Russia and Kazakhstan, leasing an office and organizing a life for such a number of employees will be much cheaper than in Moscow.
In total, it is planned to transport more than 400 employees during the next quarter.
