The issue of moonlighting in India’s information technology (IT) sector doesn’t seem to go away. The latest to enter the fray is N Ganapathy Subramaniam, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Executive Director at the IT bellwether Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Subramaniam, speaking at BT’s India@100 summit today, said that moonlighting is an ethical issue and that the IT sector will lose out in the long term.
He said, “Moonlighting is an ethical issue, we need to inculcate the ethics and (idea of) being right and if we make something like this for short-term gains, in the long-term we will lose out.”
Subramaniam elaborated on the issue and mentioned, “If you look at it as a war, it is a war. Business is all about operating within constraints. The talent war happened because of two important reasons from my perspective because during the pandemic 90 per cent of the enterprises did not hire. Few organisations like TCS, we went and honoured everything, we kept hiring.”
