While in Astana, Peter shared his success story and how he started his business from scratch. Interestingly, he found his success after he was fired from an advertising agency. Instead of falling into depression, according to Peter, he started to think about new ideas.
At first he worked alone, but after receiving two major projects he hired his first employee.
Today, Peter's company is worth $30 million and has nearly 100 employees. However, Peter constantly looks for new talents and says that doors of his company are open for Kazakhstanis.
During the master class in Astana, Peter also gave some practical recommendations on how to start the business in this every-changing world to local entrepreneurs and young Kazakhstanis.
