Tech Mahindra and the Acquisition of Satyam Computers (A) Case Solution And Analysis, HBR Case Study Solution & Analysis of Harvard Case Studies

Originated in 2008, the case scenario substantiates Tech Mahindra, an information technology (IT) company within the Mahindra Group, a multi-industry Indian company with a diverse stable of companies comprising purposes, farm equipment, and financial services, and its particular decision to get controlling stake in Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (Satyam), a troubled Indian IT firm managed since January 2009 by a six-member government-appointed caretaker board. Anand Mahindra, Chairman and Managing Director of the Mahindra Group, viewed the acquisition of Satyam as a tactical chance to move to another degree of increase.

The acquisition would allow the Group to diversify across verticals, customers, and geographies, market a broad selection of services to Satyam's strong customer base, and capitalize on common support systems protected operational synergies and as a way to reduce operating costs. His brief to Vineet Nayyar-the vice chairman and managing director of Tech Mahindra as well as the vice chairman of Satyam-and C.P Gurnani-the CEO of Mahindra Satyam-was based on a group of clear principles: rectify the problems related to corporate governance; ensure an environment of trust where ethical conduct was valued; handle reputation hazards by meeting customers and demonstrating the Mahindra Group's commitment; and reestablish faith within customers through newfound business models of delivery and betrothals. As Nayyar reflected on Anand Mahindra's words, he wondered what string of business decisions he'd have to make to be able to keep the great elements, throw out the awful bits, recover trust, and activate change within the recently anointed Mahindra Satyam.
