Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
It did this in Russia.
Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
It created a joint venture with this company called Yandex, and Yandex actually bought out Uber in stages until it finally exited Russia.
Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
It did this in Southeast Asia, where it actually took around a 27.5% stake in Grab.
Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
And then, of course, it exited the market and it did the same thing with Uber Eats in India, where it took a stake in Zomato and later sold that.

Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
This is really what the May proposal to Rapido looks like, which is that it keeps the exposure, it keeps the brand, it ends the subsidy war, it lets Rapido run the business.
Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
And Koshra Shahi wrote in 2018 that Uber's danger was taking on quote, too many battles across too many fronts, end quote.
Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
India never offered him something like what he had got in Europe and in Russia specifically with Yandex, which is a large minority, a brand and somebody else's cost.
Praveen GopalkrishnanHOST
The third way to think about it is that all of these deals are actually stories that are on the other side.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
And that way you can actually understand the ins and outs because SEO is very foreign to a lot of people, which is search engine optimization.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
It's just another way of how you found on the search engines like Google, like Yandex, like DuckDuckGo, like Brave, like Microsoft, Bing.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
And now over to AI, how you cited on different platforms and how you connected to those search engines by your pages that are already accessible by Google.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
I can call them by URLs, which are uniform resource locators, because that's the direct way of actually accessing those type of pages.
speaker_0NARRATOR
On his personal website, Belenko jokes that his hobby is applying hill-climbing search and gradient descent algorithms to real-world domains.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Bilenko earned his doctorate in the mid-2000s, led teams at Microsoft, and worked at Yandex.
speaker_0NARRATOR
By 2023, he was at Google DeepMind working on next-generation models before Meta finally snapped him up.
speaker_0NARRATOR
So why is Meta spending billions to scoop these talents up? By 2025, Meta faced a critical juncture.
James KilnerGUEST
We've not seen such a huge jump in e-bikes, but we are getting data saying there's been a 14 to 15, 16% increase in e-bike sales.
James KilnerGUEST
Uh, we've also got Yandex, that's the big tech company in Russia, saying that they're putting out another 30,000 e-bikes around in the Moscow region for, for commuters to use.
James KilnerGUEST
They didn't specifically mention the fuel crisis in Russia, but, you know, my money would be, be, be on a link to that.
James KilnerGUEST
So I'd say that was ticking up or ticking down rather, getting slightly worse on, on the, on the sort of Russia stability index that we like to track.
Buzz RyanHOST
I mean, Brave is okay.
Buzz RyanHOST
Yandex is another, it's a Russian browser.
Buzz RyanHOST
That's a good one, huh?
Hladini ShaktiGUEST
What's it called,
Buzz RyanHOST
Yandex?
Hladini ShaktiGUEST
Yandex.
Hladini ShaktiGUEST
They've just done tens and tens and tens of thousands of experiments on animals that shocking them and inducing aggression under methamphetamines, under opiates, under alcohol, all kinds of conditions, overcrowded conditions, isolated conditions.
Hladini ShaktiGUEST
They have studied this top inside out, upside down, backwards and forwards.
UrbanHOST
Just Googled, uh...
UrbanHOST
It wasn't Google, I used Yandex.
UrbanHOST
And so I just went on Yandex, and I typed in Maxwell's demon and went to the images tab, and it just came up.
UrbanHOST
It actually exists, they say, [chuckles] so I had to include it.
UrbanHOST
So we're almost done.
Dan ChungGUEST
And actually, when we first saw Nebius, very small company, but we were like, "Wow, these guys are way ahead of the curve." Now, part of the reason they were undiscovered is that the company's stock trades in the Netherlands, and the company is based there.
Dan ChungGUEST
And actually, they came out of a, a former Russian internet company called Yandex.
Dan ChungGUEST
And so they weren't on the, if you will, the US, US radar screen.
Dan ChungGUEST
And I would say, um, you know, buried there in Europe was this small cap company with a lot of AI experience and a lot of internet experience.
Dan ChungGUEST
There's other aspects to value in, um, Nebius that actually we thought very interesting, which includes they also have a very big position in a company called ClickHouse, which is, um, AI database for unstructured data, so videos, photos, unstructured data.
Dan ChungGUEST
And they also have actually, oddly enough, um, an asset in an autonomous driving, uh, uh, technology that was once in Russia and then, um, uh, got shut down in Russia, uh, after the Ukraine-Russia war.
Ben CarlsonHOST
Was that Yandex?
Dan ChungGUEST
Yeah, it was a Yandex.
Michael TunnellHOST
But a lot has changed since then.
Michael TunnellHOST
So for those who are not familiar and not keeping up with what's changing, the Google and Yandex telemetry proposal was dropped before it even shipped.
Michael TunnellHOST
Audacity later apologized and rewrote the privacy policy.
Michael TunnellHOST
and they removed the bizarre under 13 language and clarified that it wasn't collecting additional information for law enforcement or anything like that.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
ranking, ranking, ranking.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
Now we all say, oh, how do you rank on AI? How do you rank on search? How do you rank on Google? How do you rank on Yandex? How do you rank on Bing? How do you rank on Ecosia? How do you rank on DuckDuckGo? How do you rank on Brave? These are very valid questions, but how do you rank is based on how you are indexed.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
That's why I said that the first one and the last one are very important because the results are ranked based on factors like keywords, right? Your frequency of the keywords.
Favour Obasi-ikeHOST
How many times have you used that keyword in that page, on that page, within that page? If you said it five times and your competitor said it 50 times, is that overload or is it underwhelming? You have to decide those things because there's an industry standard for each attribute.
FrejaHOST
OK, let's dive into this sum of the parts breakdown.
FrejaHOST
Nebius is actually the clean play corporate successor to Yandex, having completely divested its Russian operations back in July 2024.
FrejaHOST
What they kept was an incredible international asset base.
FrejaHOST
They currently hold a massive 28% stake in ClickHouse, which is an open source database startup valued at $15 billion.
