TikTok Teases a Comeback in India—With Sneaky Gurgaon Job Posts!
When TikTok starts hiring in India despite being banned, you know the tea is hot—and this one scorches. The app that was booted in 2020 may well be plotting a stellar return—and the runway is set in Gurgaon.
On LinkedIn, ByteDance quietly posted two intriguing job roles at its Gurgaon office: a Content Moderator (Bengali Speaker) and a Wellbeing Partnership & Operations Lead for Trust & Safety. These listings ignited fresh speculation that TikTok isn’t just tinkering—it’s gearing up.
Netizens are scheming:
“Time to dust off the ring-light, TikTok’s popping back in?”
“Is TikTok planning a stealth comeback while we slide through Shorts?”mintReddit
- Yes, TikTok is still banned in India, with no official sign from the government about lifting the ban.
- Last week, TikTok’s “About Us” page became sneakily visible on Indian desktops—without full content access.
- Experts say this hiring does not signal access is restored, but it does show ByteDance isn’t writing off India.
The rumor mill is going boom-boom on socials. TikTok veterans are excited, meme accounts are dancing, and the influencer world is on high alert. One fan commented, “TikTok’s shadow is long—just missed it, like a ghost that stopped hiring.” Another quipped, “Trust & Safety, huh? Someone’s definitely planning a comeback... with filters, maybe?”
Will this spark a real relaunch? Or is this just ByteDance safeguarding its future—waiting in the wings while influencer ecosystems roll on without them? Stay tuned, because the next move could rewrite India’s short-video game... again.
