“I never felt as financially strained as I did after entering the IT industry.” A former government official introduces a startup that facilitates online contract signing via SMS

During his school years, Chingiz Dauletbayev aspired to become a doctor. However, upon witnessing his father, a surgeon, tirelessly performing three-hour surgeries, he concluded that his health, affected by a rare disease, was unsuitable for such a profession. Consequently, Chingiz enrolled in the Kazakh-British Technical University, focusing on management. Simultaneously, he initiated a business venture and assisted his uncle in procuring building materials. This was followed by an unsuccessful endeavor to launch an IT company, forays into government services, involvement in media, and the establishment of his own production studio.
