India’s fifth largest IT services firm Tech Mahindra supports side gigs said the management. CP Gurnani, CEO and MD said that the confidence in supporting this comes because Tech Mahindra is a digital company and not a legacy firm.
“Between legacy and digital, we are a digital company. But of course our intent is always with boundaries and that does not change,” said CP Gurnani, CEO, Tech Mahindra.
“I am happy, if somebody is productive, is complying with all brand guidance, values, customer relationship guidance, and wants to do another job, we are fine. Just take permission and tell us what you are working on,” he added.
Gurnani was of the view that employees should not hide such instances, however if employees may get into moonlighting without the prior permission then a ‘no tolerance’ policy will be followed.
