The owner of a software firm in Bengaluru joined a rival company as vendor management manager to divert business to his company and allegedly inflicted a loss of ₹77 lakh. The company has now filed a complaint with the Adugodi police station.

According to the police, in December 2019, a man identified as Amalorpavaraj joined a company that provides AI-backed software solutions to clients. The company that has headquarters in Singapore has an office in Bengaluru. Amalorpavaraj joined as vendor management manager and his task was to manage vendors who approach the company to provide technical assistance. But, he had a different plan afoot. 

The accused had been plotting against the company to divert projects stealing data to benefit his company that he founded in 2003. The company he joined was established in the city in 2014. The police said the company that hired him had no clue about him running another company and his plan.
