Advisors' Opinion:- [By ChemTrade]
Satyam, renamed as Mahindra Satyam was bought by Tech Mahindra in April last year after being heavily damaged by India's biggest corporate scandal.
The company is a provider of information technology services to the telecoms industry. Its net profit in January-March, its fiscal fourth quarter, fell to 2.27 billion rupees ($51 million) from 2.30 billion reported a year ago.
Tech Mahindra Ltd (TEML.BO) has reported a 1.3 percent fall in quarterly profit, weighed down by interest costs on borrowings to fund its acquisition of Satyam Computer Services. Although there are some setbacks, the company is in the process of recovery and backed by the powerful and consistently successful Mahindra group and the company will bounce back to add to shareholders wealth.
