Mekari Talenta is a cloud-based, AI-centric Human Capital Management (HCM) platform serving businesses in Indonesia and Singapore. The legal entity, PT Mid Solusi Nusantara, operates as the HR product line within the broader Mekari SaaS ecosystem and is headquartered in Jakarta with regional offices across Indonesia.

The technology stack combines core HRIS functionality with proprietary AI and biometric features. Talenta AI provides an Airene conversational chatbot, automated CV scoring, performance review summarization, and resignation prediction.

Mekari Talenta generates revenue primarily through subscription-based SaaS contracts priced per employee and module, supplemented by implementation and consulting services, payroll outsourcing services, and hardware sales (Talenta Portal devices). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, inside sales for mid-market, self-serve free trials for UMKM and SMB, and a partner/reseller network including banking partners UOB and Bank Raya. The company cites 35,000+ business customers across Southeast Asia and has earned consecutive Gartner Strong Performer designations in Voice of the Customer for Cloud HCM Suites (2024 and 2025), plus ISO 27001:2022 certification.
