Sources
- Employees

~36,991 employees as of 2025. valuation is deliberately left null: the one figure found for MKPAO Yandex's market cap ($1.44T) is wildly inconsistent with its ~$20B revenue and could not be corroborated by a second source -- recording it would fail this dataset's own revenue/valuation sanity check and looks like a units error in the source rather than a real figure.
- Founded
-
Infobox: Yandex search launched by CompTek 23 Sept 1997; the 2007 infobox date is an NL holding-company reincorporation, not founding.
- Revenue
-
2025 revenue reported as 1,536 billion RUB (~$20B); not converted to a stored USD figure here because no reliable RUB/USD rate for a sanctioned, thinly-traded currency pair could be confirmed against a primary source in this pass, so revenue_estimate is left null rather than published on a shaky conversion. founded date is Yandex's 1997 origin, not the 2024 restructured entity's.
