Our company was undergoing a global IT revamp, and I was leading a team at one of the Indian offices. The plan involved outsourcing services, with the option for employees to move to the new vendor. Initially, in February 2016, I was told that my role wouldn’t be affected and I’d help with the transition. However, I was later asked to participate in interviews with the new vendor, suggesting a potential move. After the interviews, with no updates, I was asked in May 2016 to either resign or accept redundancy.

Based on the information provided, it seems your employer may have violated Indian labor laws by not offering you a formal offer of employment from the new vendor after the interviews. Additionally, the abrupt demand to resign or accept redundancy without providing sufficient notice or severance pay may be illegal. Consulting with a lawyer specializing in employment law in India is recommended to determine your legal options and pursue potential remedies.
