IT Industry
Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware.“ Information Technology is one of the most important industries in the Indian economy. The IT industry of India has registered huge growth in recent years. India's IT industry grew from 150 million US Dollars in 1990-1991 to a whopping 50 billion US Dollars in 20062007.
In the last ten years the Information Technology industry in India has grown at an average annual rate of 30%. In 1970, high import duties had forced IBM to leave India. However, after the early nineties, many multi national IT companies, including IBM, have set up their operations in India. During the ten year period 1992-2002, the Indian software industry grew at double the rate as the US software industry. Deregulation policies adopted by the Government of India have led to substantial domestic investment and inflow of foreign capital to this industry.

Some Comments
If the first fraud is for Rs100, the next time add another zero. It (accounting fraud) grows exponentially – Anil Roy, Grant Thornton India
It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten- Raju Ramalinga while admitting the fraud
On Wikipedia, for the first time, India has been put on to the list of largest corporate scandals in the world, all thanks to Satyam – a blogger
STOCK CHARTING
PWC had been auditing satyam’s balance sheet since year 2000. Companies have to keep bank statements for the current and preceding years at registered offices. It is suspected that the files vanished as they would have given away the fraud.
Wary Investors exit PwC Clients Investors brought shares of other companies in the same sector Out of 100 clients of PwC, most companies share fell by 5-15%. Risk of Reputation
Other company bigwigs Satyam's
chief financial officer Srinivas Vadlamani has already been arrested. He has even admitted to signing on the dotted line , saying he never really paid much attention to the balance sheet! But could only two or three people have managed to cook the books for years of a company so large?. It is quite likely that some other top managers in the company too were in the know of what was happening but chose to keep quiet
RESTRUCTURING PROCESS
The
government decided to appoint 10 nominee-directors. The new board will take a decision on a new management team.
Deepak Parekh Former HDFC Chairmam
Kiran karnik Former NASSCOM Chairmam
C Achutan Former SEBI Member
The 3 members of BCG has been appointed as a management advisor and is working to revive satyam. Satyam board has appointed GOLDMAN SACHS & AVENDUS as its Investment Bankers.
Companies and government are closely watching Satyam strategies. They feel that satyam should stand of its own first, if not then only other company’s would approach for a takeover/acquisition of satyam. Other IT comany like HCL is also considering a possibility of the takeover and keeping a watch on satyam moves. But at last the TECH MAHINDRA has take over the satyam and in june 2009 it’s to new name “MAHINDRA SATYAM”.

Govt plans Rs 2000-crore package for Satyam
The Indian Government has decided to take direct action to looking at a salary bailout for the 53,000 Satyam Computer Services employees. A Rs 2,000 crore package is under consideration to ensure that Satyam employees get their salary on time after it the new board said that they are looking for funds. The government is looking at giving three instalments of Rs 500 crore to Satyam for the next three months and is planning another infusion of about Rs 400 crore.
IMPACT On INDIA INC. Questions have been raised on the balance sheets of
other IT Companies and the role of auditors. Investors loosing faith in major IT firms and other major Corporate due to fraud arisen out of Mr. Raju’s confession. Due to the satyam turbulence, 70 independent directors of various companies including ZeeNews, TVS Motors, BHEL etc, had quit from satyam and resigned from there respective companies. SEBI has made mandatory for the promoters of the companies to disclose details of the shares pledged by them.
Satyam’s Market Price Can Not Be Used For Valuation Of Satyam Asserting that only action could determine the sale price for Satyam, Modi said that stock market price could not be considered a benchmark in this case, as the market was not fully aware about the firm’s actual assets and liabilities. “Even the board is not aware (about the assets and liabilities), so the market is working on the available information. So, I don’t think there could be any basis of reserve price,” Modi added.
No advance tax paid by Satyam in FY09
Satyam Computer has not paid a single rupee as advance tax in the first three quarters of the current fiscal, though the IT company paid Rs 25 cr as fringe benefit tax (FBT) till December 15. As payment of advance tax is always considered an indicator of profitability of a company, Satyam’s non-payment of advance tax could also imply that trouble had been brewing for a long time.
Raju spends time in jail reading books, newspapers Former
chairman of Satyam Computers, B Ramalinga Raju spent his fourth day in the Chanchalguda Central prison reading books, news magazines and newspapers. January 10 and is now spending most of his time in the jail by reading books and is keeping himself abreast with latest developments through newspapers.
