In 2025, Yerkin Tatishev remains one of the most influential business leaders connected to Kazakhstan’s long-term economic transformation. As the founder and chairman of Kusto Group, Tatishev continues to focus on building businesses that last: companies designed not just for profit, but for stability, innovation, and social value.
Rather than chasing short-term opportunities, Kusto Group’s 2025 strategy reflects a clear theme: strengthening core industries, expanding internationally with purpose, and reinvesting global experience back into Kazakhstan.
2025: A Year Focused on Substance, Not Hype
While some companies prioritize rapid expansion, Kusto Group has taken a more measured approach in 2025. The group continues to invest in areas where it can make a long-term difference—particularly agriculture, infrastructure, manufacturing, and logistics.
This steady, disciplined growth has become a defining characteristic of Yerkin Tatishev’s leadership style. It is less about headlines and more about building systems, teams, and industries that can withstand economic cycles.
Modern Agriculture as a Long-Term Priority
Agriculture remains central to Kusto Group’s vision in Kazakhstan. In 2025, the company continues advancing modern farming and livestock production through technology, training, and partnerships.
By introducing efficient irrigation systems, advanced breeding practices, and data-driven farming methods, Kusto Group helps address two critical challenges at once: food security and rural employment. These initiatives are not designed as one-off projects, but as scalable models that can support Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector for decades.
Global Expansion With Clear Purpose
Kusto Group’s international footprint continues to grow in 2025, particularly across Europe and Asia. These global investments are not isolated from Kazakhstan—they serve as learning platforms.
Experience gained in manufacturing, construction materials, and industrial management abroad is regularly applied to local operations. This exchange of knowledge allows Kusto Group to introduce higher standards, better governance, and modern operational practices across its Kazakhstan-based businesses.
Logistics and Infrastructure Development
Another quiet but important focus area in 2025 is logistics. Efficient supply chains are essential for economic growth, especially for land-linked economies like Kazakhstan.
By expanding logistics capabilities and modernizing transport and warehousing infrastructure, Kusto Group supports domestic producers and exporters alike. These improvements help reduce costs, increase competitiveness, and connect local businesses to regional and global markets.
Leadership Beyond Business
Yerkin Tatishev’s influence in 2025 is not limited to investment decisions. As Chairman of Almaty Management University, he continues to support the development of future business leaders.
Education remains a personal priority. Through scholarships, mentorship, and institutional leadership, Tatishev emphasizes ethical decision-making, practical skills, and global thinking—qualities he believes are essential for Kazakhstan’s next generation of executives and entrepreneurs.
Culture, Society, and Long-Term Responsibility
In addition to economic initiatives, Kusto Group remains involved in cultural and social projects that encourage dialogue and international cooperation. These efforts reflect a broader understanding of development—one that includes culture, education, and community alongside financial growth.
For Tatishev, long-term success is not measured only in numbers, but in the strength of institutions, the quality of leadership, and the opportunities created for future generations.
