I work at an IT firm in India. A client wants to start their own company, similar to the project I’m working on now. They offered me a better job and a higher salary. Could my current company take legal action if I join this new company?

Indian law generally protects an employee’s right to switch jobs. Your current company can only take legal action if you have signed a non-compete agreement restricting you from working for competitors. The validity of such agreements depends on various factors, including its scope and duration.
