Return to workplace may ease moonlighting concerns in IT industry: Experts

The issue of moonlighting by tech professionals has ignited a fresh debate, polarising opinions and raising thorny legal questions, though many believe that staff's gradual return to office floors will likely ease the concerns.

Companies, analysts say, could also turn tougher on exclusivity clauses in employment contracts. That said, employers may feel somewhat reassured as tech workers trickle back in, and the office cubicles start to get occupied more regularly. While the practice of moonlighting emerged as a big talking point after Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji flagged the issue, equating it to "cheating", the industry's take on it is rather divided.
