Wait, what are the employee protections like in India that such a deal is enforceable? Why couldn't Flipkart just take them and then fire them a few weeks/months later?
I don't think hiAndrewQuinn was implying that they'd do so, rather, they (appropriately) assume that a for-profit would try to loophole their way out of any obligation, so they wanted to know how exactly the employees were protected.
