Since its inception in 1977, Tatler has engaged Asia’s most influential and affluent communities through exclusive content and memorable experiences, fostering inspiration, empowerment, and connections based on shared interests. With a presence in nine Asian markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Macau, mainland China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, Tatler continues to develop innovative concepts that celebrate Asian culture and the individuals making a significant impact in the region.

Michel Lamunière, Chairman & CEO of Tatler Asia, stated, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Timur Turlov and his team to expand into Central Asia and the Turkic world. This partnership marks a pivotal moment in Tatler Asia’s history and our continental expansion. I anticipate working closely with the leadership team to introduce our innovative products and creative services to Kazakhstan and beyond.”

The inaugural issue of Tatler Kazakhstan will be released in December 2024, with a print magazine published ten times annually. Concurrently, the Tatler Kazakhstan website will launch in Kazakh and Russian languages, accompanied by social media and Youtube channels. Tatler Türkiye, in both print and digital formats, will follow in 2025, alongside Tatler Azerbaijan and Tatler Uzbekistan.

The operations of Tatler Kazakhstan, Tatler Türkiye, Tatler Azerbaijan, and Tatler Uzbekistan will be overseen by Turlov Private Holding Ltd, with Turlov serving as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Timur Turlov is a prominent Kazakh entrepreneur and philanthropist. He established his brokerage company at the age of 18 and was recognized on the Forbes Global list at 33.

He is also the founder of the Kazakhstan QJ League (Youth Football League).

“We are deeply honored that Tatler, a publication with one of the most distinguished legacies in the global magazine industry, has specifically chosen our team and Kazakhstan, entrusting us with oversight of such a significant region encompassing four countries of the Turkic world. This decision undeniably acknowledges the exceptional talents of the Kazakh people, who have demonstrated their professionalism and readiness for leadership within the Turkic region’s media landscape.
