Poaching under legal radar after Wipro case

Bangalore: Wipro Biomed, the life sciences division of Wipro, has won an order from Delhi High Court restraining the firm's long-term partner Beckman Coulter from luring its employees, albeit temporarily. Beckman Coulter is said to be preparing ground to enter India on its own.
The ruling has put the spotlight back on the poaching phenomenon that is threatening to snowball into a major controversy affecting Indian industry across sectors like life sciences, aviation and BPO.
Globally, firms do have confidentiality clauses to prevent people from joining competitors. But in India, it has not gained acceptance as a concept yet.
Air Deccan managing director Capt Gopinath believes that in an industry like aviation it is important to have such a clause.
