Wipro has fired 300 employees as part of a strict stance against workers who moonlight. The company recently discovered 300 employees to be moonlighting and working for competitors, according to Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji, who added that such individuals had no place in the organisation.

After disapproving the exercise of moonlighting, Wipro has come to be the primary Indian IT predominant nowadays to have fired three hundred personnel who have been discovered to be operating for competition on the equal time.

“Employees will have a obvious speak with the enterprise approximately their 2nd or weekend paintings, however we observed three hundred personnel who have been operating for direct competition. There isn’t anyt any vicinity for them,” Wipro chairman Rishad Premji stated Wednesday at a convention organised with the aid of using the All India Management Association . “It is an act of integrity violation in its inner most form,” he added.

Premji has been a vocal critic of moonlighting and had in advance made it clean that the enterprise had no vicinity for such personnel. On Wednesday, he stated that aleven though he has acquired a large quantity of hate mail considering the fact that calling it (moonlighting) cheating, he stands with the aid of using what he stated. Moonlighting refers to pursuing a couple of process at a time and faraway operating (paintings from home), which have become a norm for the duration of Covid days and continues to be conventional at numerous workplaces.
