When Wipro fired 300 employees in 2022 for moonlighting, it sparked a wave of commentary. But now, the conversation is more nuanced. PeopleMatters reports that several startups have begun acknowledging secondary gigs—sometimes even integrating them into career development plans. In the Indian context, moonlighting often stems from financial need, creative exploration, or entrepreneurial aspirations—not necessarily disloyalty. Instead of blanket bans, progressive firms are setting clear boundaries—e.g., no time conflicts, no IP overlaps—and allowing side hustles as long as they fuel passion, not burnout. Is your HR policy guarding against risk—or missing an opportunity to empower multidimensional talent?
