Jakarta. TikTok said it is hiring for more than 100 positions in Indonesia, denying reports that it has laid off as much as 90% of Tokopedia's workforce following the integration of the e-commerce platform into its operations.

Stephanie Susilo, executive director of TikTok and Tokopedia, said on Monday the company is carrying out "a workforce reorganization" rather than mass layoffs, dismissing claims circulating on social media and in local media reports.

"There are no layoffs at TikTok or the TikTok Tokopedia Group," Stephanie told reporters. "What we are doing is workforce restructuring and internal mobility within the TikTok Tokopedia Group."

She said some employees had voluntarily accepted severance packages and moved to jobs outside the company, while others had been reassigned to different businesses within the TikTok-Tokopedia group.

"We are also hiring for more than 100 positions in Indonesia," she said.

The statement follows reports that TikTok was cutting a significant portion of Tokopedia's workforce as part of an organizational overhaul. Local media, citing unnamed sources, reported that more than 450 employees in Tokopedia's technology division had been laid off, while other reports claimed the latest restructuring had reduced the company's workforce to about 10% of the roughly 2,500 employees it had when TikTok acquired control of the business.

TikTok did not confirm the scale of the job cuts but said it is restructuring its research and development organization to "support long-term, sustainable growth."

Separately, GoTo Gojek Tokopedia, which retains a 24.99% stake in Tokopedia, said the reported workforce changes are not expected to have a material financial impact on the company.

In a filing with the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Saturday, GoTo Finance Director Simon Tak Leung Ho said the company respects management decisions taken by Tokopedia. Since selling a controlling stake to TikTok in January 2024, GoTo no longer consolidates Tokopedia's financial results, accounting for its remaining stake under the equity method.

TikTok owner ByteDance completed its acquisition of a 75.01% stake in Tokopedia for $1.5 billion on Jan. 31, 2024, merging TikTok Shop Indonesia into Tokopedia while leaving GoTo with a minority stake.

The integration has been accompanied by several rounds of workforce reductions. Around 450 employees were laid off in June 2024, followed by approximately 180 workers in July 2025 and another 240 in August 2025, according to local media reports.
