Yandex took the 24th place in the list of the fastest growing companies in the world, compiled by the American magazine Fortune. The Russian IT giant is the only representative of Russia on the list.

      The first place in the ranking was taken by the Chinese Momo, which owns the eponymous messenger. The second and the third places are taken by  the American Texas Pacific Land Trust (real estate) and Micron Technology (manufacturers of computer memory), respectively.

Yandex already entered the rating in 2014; then it took the 65th place. This year, the company is only two points behind Facebook and ahead of such companies as Adobe (33rd place), Salesforce (39), Planet Fitness (58) and others.
