"We are not a controlling shareholder in any of our assets." The head of Interros revealed the details of the joint venture with T-technologies
The key task of Catalytic People - a joint venture of Interros Vladimir Potanin and T-technologies - is not just investment in individual businesses, but the formation of common ground between them. This was announced in early August 2025 by the general director of Interros Sergey Batekhin.
According to him, within the framework of the joint venture, Interros is responsible for financial issues: the holding has invested "billions of dollars" in various projects. At the same time, emphasis is placed on organizing the joint work of teams so that they use each other's best practices, but at the same time maintain identity.
 | Our [Interrosa] task as an investor is to create such connections between companies so that they strengthen each other. This is especially important in competitive industries, where the speed of entry into the market is critical. We are not a controlling shareholder in any of our assets. We are a large but minority shareholder everywhere. This is our philosophy, which has been developed for many years, "the Vedomosti newspaper quoted Batekhin as saying. |  |
The founder of analytics firm Dsight, Arseniy Dabbach, notes that the joint venture model, unlike direct M&A (M&A) deals or a corporate venture fund, is a "more flexible structure to realize synergies." In particular, a share in the capital provides a place in the corporate governance structure, which allows influencing the strategy of the organization. In addition, the status of a shareholder/co-owner provides access to insider financial and operational information necessary to assess the risks and market position of the company. Investment strategist of Arikapital Management Company Sergei Suverov adds that the format of the joint venture allows partners to bring different competencies to the project to obtain synergies.[1]
