Wipro sues against former Senior VP who joined Cognizant
By MYBRANDBOOK
Wipro has filed a complaint against a former senior executive for violation of a non-compete clause in his employment contract. According to the complaint, the said executive joined Wipro’s direct competitor Cognizant this year. Wipro said Mohd Haque, who quit in June this year, had agreed to certain restrictions on his post-employment activities, including prohibition of work for a small set of Wipro competitors including Cognizant atleast for 12 months.
Cognizant and Wipro are competitors in the digital healthcare services field. Haque worked for many years in this sector while at Wipro. In 2010, Haque joined Wipro as VP of enterprise application services in Bengaluru.
“Haque began violating his non-competition covenants by working for one of these few prohibited companies, Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, on or about August 1, 2023… Haque took every opportunity to hide from Wipro his upcoming employment with Cognizant and gain an unfair advantage over Wipro upon joining,” Wipro said in the complaint.
Wipro claims that Haque, before his resignation became effective, surreptitiously uploaded multiple files containing confidential information to his personal Gmail account. The IT company asserts that Haque also misrepresented his intentions to Wipro, stating untruthfully that he had no plans to work at Cognizant.
The legal team of Wipro sent a letter to Haque on September 29, 2023, reminding him of his contractual obligations and the potential consequences for breaches. The company is seeking a jury trial in the matter.
