Global technology major IBM<\/a> has warned its Indian employees against moonlighting<\/a>, saying the practice creates a “conflict of interest” as it could put critical client data and commercial assets at risk.

“...while an IBMers’ time outside of work is their own, it also requires them to avoid engaging in activities that create a conflict of interest,”
IBM India<\/a> managing director Sandip Patel<\/a> said in an internal note sent to its employees. “...if you advance a personal interest, whether directly or indirectly, at the expense of IBM’s interest, it is treated as serious conflict of interest and violation of trust,” it said.

The clarification comes amid a heated debate on the practice of tech workers in India taking up side jobs in addition to their regular jobs, which seems to have
divided the industry with many firms criticising the trend and others accepting it<\/a>.

“IBM’s policy is also fundamentally important to trust our clients place in IBM when they entrust us with the transformation, access and management of critical commercial assets including data and systems,” the note added.

ET has seen a copy of the internal mail.

The company’s business is based on the belief that IBM has adequate procedures in place to limit unauthorised access of its clients’ assets by third parties, it said.

IBM is said to have over 140,000 employees in India, making it one of its largest employee bases globally. Its India business posted more than Rs 25,300 crore in revenue for the fiscal ended December 2020.

Patel reiterated his stance made last month that when people are employed by IBM, they sign an agreement assuring that they would work only for the company.

“So, notwithstanding what people can do with the rest of their time, it’s not ethical to do that (moonlighting). That's my position,” Patel had said during the IBM Think conference in Mumbai last month.

Wipro<\/a> recently sacked 300 techies for indulging in moonlighting and its executive chairman Rishad Premji termed the practice as “cheating”. Infosys<\/a>, on the other hand, has allowed its employees to take up external gigs that were not in direct competition with the firm’s business with prior approval.
