ECF 14-18

The Record Reflected in ECF 14-18

ECF 14-18 reflects communications concerning the end date of Defendant’s QBE contract assignment and the process for returning the QBE-issued laptop.

The exhibit includes a December 20, 2024 communication from Dilip Nayak advising that the contract would end, that Defendant could bill through December 31, and that Defendant should begin the process of returning the QBE laptop, including coordination with Mphasis leadership or use of a prepaid shipping label option.

The exhibit also reflects Defendant’s response that, upon returning to New York in the new year, he would drop off the QBE laptop at the QBE offices unless instructed otherwise.

The later April 11, 2025 communication identifies Palavesam Chandrasekar as the QBE contact who, according to the email, insisted the laptop be returned in New York rather than London.

Viewed together with ECF 14-17, ECF 14-20, ECF 14-38, ECF 221, and ECF 96, this filing provides context regarding the relationship between the QBE-issued laptop, contract-end procedures, return-location instructions, device custody, and later questions concerning endpoint accountability.
