What was Satyam Before this Fraud? Mr. Raju and B. Ramalinga Raju, were the founders of Satyam Computer .

Satyam was country's fourth largest IT company - after TCS, Infosys and Wipro and ahead of HCL.

Satyam share price was Rs. 139.15.

Satyam listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and boasted 185 Fortune 500 companies on its client list .

• It had 53,000 employees - that's equal to the combined number of employees of Tata Steel and Tata Motors (30,000 and 23,000 respectively).

The company's clients include multinationals such as Nestle, General Motors (GM), and General Electric (GE).

Satyam had top-notch clients and was acknowledged as one of the three best employers in India by both Hewitt (HEW) and Mercer (MERC), the international human resources firms. .

But in September, the World Bank banned Satyam from doing any of its work after it found Satyam employees had hacked into its system and gained access to sensitive information. It also did not renew their five-year contract. Satyam denied any wrongdoing.

SATYAM Meaning TRUTH.

Now, Satyam :-A Rs. 7000 cr

LIE.

On the Morning of 7 January 2009,Ramalingam Raju, the chairman of troubled Indian IT outsourcingcompany Satyam Computer Services (SAY), sent a startling letter to hisboard and the Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI). Rajuacknowledged :- His culpability in hiding news that he had inflated the amount of cash on the

balance sheet of India's fourth-largest IT company by nearly $1 billion;

Incurring a liability of $253 million on funds arranged by him personally;&

Overstating Satyam's September 2008 quarterly revenues by 76% and profits by 97%.

After, submitting his resignation Raju ended his letter by apologizing for his inability to close what began as a "marginal gap between operating profits and the one reflected in the books of accounts" but grew unmanageable.

Background of the Fraud CaseMaytas Infra Ltd., Company owned by Two sons of Raju were investing in the real

estate business and recently their real estate business was not in good shape.

Raju started using the manpower and other resources for the Satyam Company for the welfare of his sons’ real estate business.

Four main shareholders of Satyam Company were horrified by the changing behavior of Raju.

With Sat yam's management focused elsewhere, business suffered. Clients complained about lack of attention, and many professional managers began to leave.

Before the shocking confession from Raju, there was a long list of reported suitors for Satyam. They included HCL Technologies, Wipro, IBM (IBM), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Larsen & Toubro InfoTech, Cognizant (CTSH), Cap Gemini (CAPP.PA), and even private equity players KKR and TPG.

• Ramalinga Raju on Dec. 16 proposed that Satyam would buy a 31 percent stake in Maytas Infra from his family, and an additional 20 percent from minority shareholders, as well as all of Maytas Properties, for $1.6 billion.

Satyam ADR’s lost 50% of their value over night.

Raju was forced to reverse his decision under the shareholder’s pressure.

But what was widely seen as a move by Raju to bail out his sons was actually aimed at covering Sat yam's tracks through fictitious cash transfers.

December also brought news of pending litigation by a former client, online mobile-payments service Upaid Systems ,which filed a case of intellectual fraud and forgery against Satyam in 2007; a Texas court is scheduled to conduct a hearing on the case Jan. 7.

What triggered the wrongdoing confession was investment banker DSP Merrill Lynch's letter to the company (followed by another to Sebi this morning) terminating its 10-day-old agreement with Satyam to advise it on strategic options because of ``material accounting irregularities”. ( One day before confession)

Impact of the ConfessionSatyam had become "India's Enron," said CLSA India analyst Bhavtosh Vajpayee, calling

the case "an accounting fraud beyond imagination [and] an embarrassing and shocking episode in Indian corporate governance."

Damaged India's reputation as a reliable provider of IT services.

Indian rivals will now come under greater scrutiny by regulators, investors, and customers.

Tech Mahindra made a public statement that it would not be interested in acquiring Satyam "in the current environment.

Price waterhouse cooper, sat yam s official auditors are under scrutiny.

Raju family’s holding in Satyam falls to 3.64%.

• Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Accenture, and IBM could benefit from $500 to $700 million in business from Satyam over the next six months if the company flounders.

Satyam Computer crashed by Rs 139.15 or 77.69 per cent to close at Rs 39.95, after the Chairman announced the company had falsified accounts and assets for several years.

Bse Fell 700 points because of this.

The Sensex, which had gained over 688 points in the last four sessions of 2009, tumbled below the crucial 10,000 point level, losing 749.05 points to reach 9,586.88. It touched the day's low of 9,510.15 and a high of 10,469.72 points, showing a wide fluctuation of nearly 960 points.

The declining Sensex recorded the biggest single-day loss in the past two months, after Satyam Computers Services, the country's fourth-largest software developer, plunged around 80 per cent, the highest since getting listed in 1992.

•The 50-share National Stock Exchange index Nifty tumbled by 192.40 points at 2,920.40, after hitting the day's low of 2,888.20 points during the day.

The timing of what is being called `India's Enron' could not have come at a worse time - just when the stock market was showing signs of responding positively to the Centre and RBI's moves to stimulate the economy through interest rate cuts, duty reductions and accelerated government spending. A day after the sensex crossed the 10,000-mark, it plunged by 749 points, wiping out almost Rs 1.3 lakh crore (or trillion) of market capitalization.
