Its a product designed by two brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. The telegram was never made or developed in India. The straight answer to this question is a big “ NO”. However in the future, if it needs funds to scale up, then Telegram will ask for donations from users or make additional services available as in-app purchases.Ĭurrently, they have about 100,000 daily active users in their database. Telegram operates as a non-profit organization and doesn’t plan to charge for its services. And all this credit goes to Nikolai Durov’s open-sourced MTProto protocol which made it possible to reach such a stage. The company claims that “ Telegram is the fastest and most secure mass-market messaging system in the world“.
