I shall miss Satyam...

For every Satyamite, January 7th, the day when Raju sent his confession letter of the fraud, will be a date that would be more important than 26/11, 11/9 , since it directly impacted the lives of 53k employees. We were all shocked and were frozen for few days, such an incident was unprecendented in Corporate India, the government stepped in and now Tech Mahindra has now taken over Satyam.

Last thursday was my last working day in Satyam, and when I look back, I get a sad feeling of having to leave Satyam and particularly my associates, my leaders, and my HR fraternity.

On the last day when my manager sent a mail communication to All associates in IES about my exit, I immediately got a call, one of my associate called me and asked me when would be my last working day. When I told him that it was the same day, he immediately came outside my cabin, and since my cabin was full with my team members, I went outside to meet him. With tears in his eyes, and emotions in his voice, he told me that " I will miss you Sir". I had no words to utter, I was sad, I was sad to leave my associates.


Satyam has given me so much, I am greatful to Satyam for the learning I had and the friends I made. I am confident that Satyam will bounce back with even higher profitability and market share. As I look forward to the new challenges in my life, I shall always have a soft corner for my Satyamites.

Once a satyamite - always a satyamite

In its new avatar it will surely be a top org to recoken but truly we will all miss the great organization what we all knew
