On Wednesday, Swiggy, an online food delivery platform, introduced a new “Moonlighting” policy for its employees that will let them take up external projects to make more money.

“This could encompass activity outside of office hours or on weekends that does not impact their productivity on the full-time job or have a conflict of interest with the company’s business in any way,” as per Swiggy.

“Swiggy has always strived to understand the diverse aspirations of its employees and to design its organisational policies to suit their evolving needs,” Girish Menon, Head of Human Resources at Swiggy, said in a statement.

“With the Moonlighting Policy, our goal is to encourage employees to pursue their passion without any constraints due to their full-time employment with us. This is yet another step in our journey towards building a world-class ‘people first’ organisation,” Menon added.

Per the guidelines, subject to approval, a moonlight project must be started to pose a higher risk of conflict of interest or interference with the employee’s duties. This policy only applies to full-time employees of Bundl Technologies, including subsidiaries, affiliates, associates, and group companies. In the previous week, Swiggy announced permanent work from home from any place in this policy.
