DogeSMS in Tbilisi
Why we're building presence in Tbilisi
Georgia has emerged as a surprisingly sophisticated telecoms market given its size: Magticom, Geocell (Silknet), and MagtiGSM collectively serve 4.3M mobile subscribers in a country of 3.7M residents — indicating heavy tourist and diaspora SIM usage alongside domestic penetration. GNCC (Georgian National Communications Commission) applies GSMA-aligned SMS routing standards, and the National Bank of Georgia's Open Banking framework (operational since 2023) has created PSD2-equivalent authentication requirements for Georgian fintechs. What makes Tbilisi distinctly interesting for distributed teams is the combination of UTC+4 timezone coverage, zero capital gains tax for tech companies under the Virtual Zone regime, and a cost structure roughly 60% below Berlin. The city has become a notable landing point for European remote workers and tech founders, creating an unusually connected expat engineering community on top of a growing local developer base.
