About me

Experience shapes perspective.

My full name is Tarlan Ramazan Ogly Musaev. I founded MTR Group in 2020, following a career in banking and corporate finance in Uzbekistan and the UAE. My work today spans industrial development, real estate investment, tourism and hospitality, alongside other operating businesses.

Before MTR Group, I built a career as a top-performing banker, leading a business banking and wealth management unit at Noor Bank and heading corporate finance and monitoring at InFinBank. That experience continues to inform how I approach investment, partnerships and the long-term development of a business.
