Wipro fired 300 staff found working with rivals at same time: Rishad Premji

Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji on Wednesday said the company had found its 300 employees worked with one of its competitors at the same time, and added that action was taken in such cases by terminating their services.

The issue of moonlighting by tech professionals has ignited a fresh debate, polarising opinions and raising thorny legal questions, though many believe that staff's gradual return to office floors will likely ease the concerns. Moonlighting refers to employees taking up side gigs to work on more than one job at a time. With the vexed issue now in the spotlight, some industry watchers expect employers to consider extra safeguards to protect proprietary information and operating models, especially where employees are working remotely.
