PT Indosat Tbk, now officially operating as Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), is a leading digital telecommunications company in Indonesia and one of the country's largest mobile network operators. Formed in early 2022 through the landmark merger of PT Indosat Tbk (Indosat Ooredoo) and PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia (Tri Indonesia), IOH has emerged as a formidable competitor in the Indonesian telco market. Headquartered in Jakarta, the company's core mission is to connect and empower every Indonesian by delivering world-class digital experiences and driving the nation's digital transformation.
The merger created a stronger, more competitive entity with the scale, financial strength, and network infrastructure necessary to accelerate 5G deployment and enhance digital services across the vast Indonesian archipelago. IOH's business is fundamentally about providing connectivity, but its services have evolved far beyond basic voice and text messaging to encompass a wide array of digital solutions for both individual consumers and enterprise clients.
