Tech Mahindra asks World Bank to lift ban on Satyam

Bangalore: World Bank is officially approached by Tech Mahindra, to lift the eight year ban on the scam-hit IT services firm Satyam. This move comes after Tech Mahindra acquired Satyam and renamed it as Mahindra Satyam. Satyam was blacklisted last September and a month later the software firm denied reports that its contractors had installed spy software on World Bank computers.

"We wrote to the bank a few weeks ago. We don't expect an immediate response as these things take time but we disagree with the claims they've made," said Vineet Nayyar, Vice-chairman, Tech Mahindra. Tech Mahindra also said that it remains committed to developing a $75 million IT facility in Geelong and will continue to service Telstra despite losing a $30 million-plus contract.
The Geelong project was announced more than a year ago with Satyam as the main financial backer, in partnership with the Victorian government, the City of Greater Geelong and Deakin. The software hub was to create 2,000 jobs, a welcome reprieve for a region afflicted by automotive industry job losses.

1: I am a share holder in Satyam. There has been
no proper restating of accounts yet from
Satyam. No revelations regarding the
investigation. Employees are not sure what
will happen as Tech Mahindra (MBT) is famous
among IT community for random decisions and
firing people. Mahindra vehicles are a load
of crap. I only expect crap from the company
that makes crap vehicles. No offense. Their
vehicles are crap.

12: Scams are part of any MNC's across the
world.However tech mahindra did a smart move
in taking up satyam for less price thought
it is risky.But I belive that Mahindra satyam
will survive and has good chances of
growing.
because entire staff at highlevel to CFO has replaced and the firms like satyam was hit bad name and were given chance to survive then I bet they would do all clean work to bring back its reputation.No client will bother till their vendors provide good service. I belive smart people will invest in mahindra satyam stocks now to get smart returns now..
