Last month, Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji revealed that some 300 employees were fired as the IT services company has no place for any employee who chooses to work directly with rivals while being on Wipro payrolls. On Wednesday, at the second-quarter earnings press conference, Delaporte said Wipro contracts stipulate not taking up a side job with a competitor. Employees signing up for the company are expected "not only to dedicate time for Wipro but also keep time for themselves and for families," he said. It is "perfectl
