Really interested in a brand role at client side. How do I approach without my team and group AD getting a clue?

Meaning how do you start looking for a new job and interviewing?
There’s absolutely no reason your team should know or need to until you resign.

There is an opening at a current client which I am really interested in but the client lead is very close to VP of my team. The client is a small-ish team and we work with the brand folks - I am scared that my VP will get to know

You should read through the paperwork you signed when you were hired. There may be something stating you aren’t able to pursue a job with a current client. And I’m 99% certain all clients sign a non-solicitation agreement in their MSA.
I haven’t seen an account person jump to become an agency client on the same business in my 20 years so you may be the first.
Would really just start looking for roles and letting recruiters know you are looking and they may find you.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
