18. COMPANY BACKGROUND- Tech
Mahindra
• Formed in 1986, because of joint venture between Mahindra &
Mahindra ltd.
• Headquarter in Mumbai has a revenue of Rs 44,647 million for
Mar.09.
• Company has a niche in the telecom space & provides the services
in Europe too.

matching between two firms & hence went out for bidding process.

19. Bail granted to Raju
• An apex court bench of Justice Dalveer Bhandariand Justice Dipak Misra
said from the facts of the case and considering the totality of the
circumstances, it was appropriate to grant them bail.
• CBI states "Ramalinga Raju is highly influential and if he is released on bail,
there is every possibility, almost to a point of certainty, that he would
impede and interfere with the process of trial and make every effort to
tamper with evidence and delay the trial“.

20. CONCLUSION
• Satyam’s fraud spurred the government of
India to tighten corporate norms to prevent
investors and safeguard the credibility of India
and the nation’s image across the world
• an effective ‘whistle blower policy’ in place,
education on ethical values,criteria for
remuneration to key personnel, and
strengthening of quality review

21. CONT…
• A transformed organizational culture which
pays highest attention to ethical conduct and
moral values will strengthen sustainable roots
of the company.
• Transparency and effective auditing and
regulatory checks through internal and
external auditors and monitoring agencies will
help establish long lasting credibility for any
company.

22. CONT…
• Corporate governance framework needs to be
implemented in letter as well as spirit. The
increasing rates of white collar crimes
demands stiff penalties and punishment. The
smalldistortions created by few immoral
executives lad far reaching negative
consequences.Hopefully, creating an
awareness of the large consequences of small
lies may help some to avoid this trap.
