Satyam to be standalone unit, says TechM

Tech Mahindra Ltd, which is taking over Satyam Computer Services Ltd, said on Monday the fraud-hit Indian outsourcer would continue to function as a standalone unit.

The mid-sized Indian IT services firm's immediate priority was to retain and win back lost clients of Satyam, a statement from Tech Mahindra said.

Tech Mahindra's deal to take over Satyam will propel it into the top tier of Indian IT firms and throw a lifeline to the firm at the centre of India's biggest corporate scandal.

Three months ago, Satyam's founder and chairman shocked investors by saying profits had been overstated for years, putting in doubt the survival of a company once ranked as India's fourth-largest software services exporter.

The government quickly stepped in and sacked the board to limit damage to India's once-shining IT sector.
