The strongest leaders are not the ones who do everything. They are the ones who know what deserves their full attention. We asked Inés Clariana Cortázar Inés Clariana Gortázar , COO & CMO at #YangoPlay, a series of quick questions about leadership, marketing and decision-making. One of the strongest points: being demanding and caring are not opposites. In leadership, the real challenge is often holding both at the same time. The same logic applies to marketing. A campaign does not need to be perfect to work. It needs a clear purpose, measurable goals and a real customer focus. A short conversation for leaders and marketers who are building under pressure, making bold decisions and learning to stay present where it matters most. #YangoGroup #YangoPlay #Leadership #Marketing

Not every launch scales the way you expect. We asked Roman Karlash Roman Karlash , Chief Executive of Yango Ride, about one of the biggest challenges he faced at Yango Group. He shared the story of #YangoMoto in Cameroon: a launch the team worked on for six months, testing, adapting and looking for the right model. The case did not move forward, but it became an important learning experience about building new mobility products in real market conditions. #YangoGroup #YangoCameroon

How can leaders achieve more without simply doing more? In the second episode of our #YangoMasterclass series, Ryan Restell Ryan Restell , Chief Commercial Officer at #YangoPlay and #Yasmina, shares a practical lesson on focus, prioritization and the 80/20 rule. In business, not every action creates the same level of impact. Often, a small share of tasks, customers or decisions drives the majority of results. Ryan explains why strong performers do not treat every task equally. They identify the actions that create the biggest impact and double down on them. The question for every leader is simple: Which 20% of your actions are driving 80% of your results? #YangoGroup #YangoPlay #Yasmina #YangoMasterclass

Yango in Mozambique, in partnership with FDC and local authorities, recently supported 200 flood-affected families in Nhangal village, Gaza Province. Months after devastating floods destroyed crops and food reserves, these families are now receiving vital agricultural seed kits to help them rebuild their livelihoods. Each kit is designed to support up to 1.5 hectares of cultivation, providing households with a real opportunity to restore food security. Beyond mere survival, this initiative aims to empower families to generate income from surplus produce, fostering long-term resilience and economic stability. This effort underscores our commitment to supporting communities in times of need. By providing essential tools, we are helping families move from recovery to sustainable growth, reinforcing our belief in local empowerment. We are proud to contribute to the rebuilding of these communities and help pave the way for a more secure future for the affected families. #Yango #Mozambique #CommunitySupport #FoodSecurity #LocalImpact

Yango Group recently launched an AI-powered platform to help cities manage public transport more efficiently. The platform gives transport authorities and operators a single interface that combines real-time data with the tools they need to manage routes, fleets, scheduling, and fare collection. It comes at a time when urban congestion is getting worse, not better. The INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard found that congestion increased in 62% of urban areas globally in 2025. According to internal estimates, the platform can help reduce traffic jams by up to 28%, cut operational costs by up to 35%, and support up to 40% faster decision-making for city authorities. Daniil Shuleyko, CEO of Yango Group, has been clear about where the company sees the future of cities heading: “The cities that will lead the next decade will not be defined by the size of their fleets or the height of their towers. They will be defined by their ability to integrate.” The platform also connects with the Yango SuperApp, so passengers can access multimodal trip planning, real-time vehicle tracking, and digital ticketing in one place.
