Interestingly, Infosys, and Freshdesk - operate in similar domains when compared to the establishments in which their founders worked. Infosys and Patni Computer Systems operate in the IT sector while Freshdesk and Zoho both build technology tools for businesses. Moreover, both Amazon and Flipkart started as online bookstores.
Business Today had reviewed the employment contract of Infosys last month to find out that the company discourages ‘moonlighting’. Employees can only take up secondary employment or side gigs after taking consent from the company.
