300 Wipro 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.

Premji asserted that he stands by his recent comments on moonlighting being a complete violation of integrity “in its deepest form”.

“The reality is that there are people today working for Wipro and working directly for one of our competitors and we have actually discovered 300 people in the last few months who are doing exactly that,” Premji said speaking at AIMA’s (All India Management Association) National Management Convention.

Asked about the action taken again employees who were found to be working parallelly for the company as well as for rivals, Premji, on the sidelines of the event, said that their employment had been terminated for an “act of integrity violation”.
