History

In 1986, Mahindra & Mahindra started a 60:40 joint venture technology services outsourcing firm with British Telecom named Mahindra British Telecom (MBT). In 2000, British Telecom committed business of at least £105 million over three years; as a consideration, British Telecom's stake in MBT increased to 43%. [6] MBT primarily served the telecommunications industry in its early years, with British Telecom as its largest client. [7]

In 2006, MBT was renamed as Tech Mahindra, [8] and it became a public company via an initial public offering. [9] In December 2010, British Telecom sold 5.5% of its stake in Tech Mahindra to Mahindra & Mahindra for 451 crore. [10] In August 2012, British Telecom sold 14.1% of its stake to institutional investors for about 1,395 crore. In December 2012, British Telecom sold its remaining 9.1% stake to institutional investors for 1,011.4 crore. This sale marked the exit of British Telecom from Tech Mahindra. [11]

Acquisition and merger of Satyam

After the Satyam scandal of 2008–09, Tech Mahindra emerged as the top bidder for a 31% stake in Satyam Computer Services, beating a bid from Larsen & Toubro. [12] After evaluating the bids, the government-appointed board of Satyam Computer announced on April 13, 2009 that it had selected Venturbay Consultants Private Limited, a subsidiary of Tech Mahindra, as the highest bidder to acquire a controlling stake in the company. [13] After the completion of the acquisition, Satyam Computer Services was renamed Mahindra Satyam in June 2009. [14]

[17] [18] [19] On 25 June 2013, Tech Mahindra announced the completion of its merger with Mahindra Satyam to create India's fifth largest software services company with a turnover of $2.7 billion. [20] [21] Mahindra Satyam was suspended from trading with effect from 4 July 2013, following the merger. [22] After the completion of share swap, [23] the stock exchanges approved the trading of new shares from 12 July 2013. [24] [25]

[26] Tech Mahindra purchased a controlling stake in Pininfarina S.p.A., an Italian automotive and industrial design company. [27] Tech Mahindra announced the launch of its Automation Framework AQT (Automation, Quality, Time). [28] By March 2016, Tech Mahindra's post-tax earnings had surpassed that of M&M. [29]
