Satyam Truth Untruth Limited (Continued)

The Satyam Computer Services Ltd saga has attracted comment that has chiefly focused on three angles:

  1. the ethical conduct of founder B. Ramalinga Raju;
  2. the negligence of the auditors, Price Waterhouse; and
  3. the role of independent directors.

Satyam Maytas Deal
The story wasn't about Satyam trying to rescue Maytas, but Maytas trying to save Satyam.


How would the Maytas acquisition have helped?

  • Satyam would have paid at least Rs 5000 crore to acquire the two companies from the promoters (the Raju family).
  • The money was non-existent. So, it would have pretended to pay the money and ended up with the assets (the two Maytas companies).
  • The promoters may have never got paid but that would have served them right.And everyone would have been alright
  • Satyam would have had assets, real assets on its books instead of non-existent cash;
  • the Raju family would have continued to manage Satyam, but would have been poorer by quite a bit; and investors would have still had their money invested in a halfway decent company.
    That hasn't happened.

I was talkin on soft corner for RAJU, i still have the same for him for the following reasons:

    • Why shareholders pretend to be owners of company at the time of profit division only?
    • Why they behave as creditors when company is into crisis?
    • Why would a person who had made this mighty empire eat up money when the company is already into profit making?
    • Why do we forget tht SATYAM is a part of big 4 IT giants who are representing INDIA?
    • Why do we always remember our rights as Shareholders , not the duties as legal owners of company?

    I am an investor in SATYAM, bt that makes me an owner of company too, i will stand by the company as it is a legal entity…

    Agriculture - Oxygen for manyyyy

    Talking on agriculture, About 75% of the Indian population lives in rural areas and about 80% of this population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood.Agriculture accounts for about 37% of the national income. The development of the rural areas and of agriculture and its allied activities thus becomes vital for the rapid development of the economy as a whole. Agricultural Productivity Even though India occupies the first or second position in the world in several crops in terms of area and production, it's rank in terms of productivity per hectare in the world is 52 for rice, 38 for wheat and much low in several other crops. The productivity of some crops is not only low but also remained stagnant over the years. The yield gap needs to be bridged through an integrated package of technology and agricultural policies to reap the untapped production potential, particularly, in rain-fed and other low productivity areas. What the INDIA INC says abt it? A...

    New Journey!!! - Plannin to write my blog

    Well, I m no Amitabh Bachhan, No Aamir Khan, tht ppl will be reading my blog or will be finding it worth reading. All i know is tht i am getting inspired from Ankur to write it. This is my opening post meant to be read for ppl close to me.   Its 10:10pm now, September 25 th 2008 , I have decided to replicate the high flying Blogging concept whilst I know I have the slightest listeners. Holidays have started, No great work to do these days, except getting inclined to TV and gossips, ‘Roz ki faaltu baatein’ would be the core activity in my list regularly till 5 th October.   Will be missing my college buddies, Its always a dependence tht gets created when you meet the same ppl regularly, The best and worst part of “Chhutiyan-Holidays’ is the “ending/missing of monotonous routine” , on one side I m happy tht this break would end up my daily 9 to 6 college routine and on the same time I will be / already started missing my friends and foes J . Tension mat lo, foes are an import...
