Tech Mahindra is an Indian multinational information technology services and consulting company. It was formed in 1986 as a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra and BT Group. Part of the Mahindra Group, the company is headquartered in Pune and has its registered office in Mumbai.[1]

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%.[2] MBT primarily served the telecommunications industry in its early years, with British Telecom as its largest client.[3]

In 2006, MBT was renamed as Tech Mahindra,[4] and it became a public company via an initial public offering.[5] In December 2010, British Telecom sold 5.5% of its stake in Tech Mahindra to Mahindra & Mahindra for Template:INR451 crore.[6] In August 2012, British Telecom sold 14.1% of its stake to institutional investors for about Template:INR1,395 crore. In December 2012, British Telecom sold its remaining 9.1% stake to institutional investors for Template:INR1,011.4 crore. This sale marked the exit of British Telecom from Tech Mahindra.[7]

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.[8] After evaluating the bids, the government-appointed board of Satyam Computer announced on 13 April 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.[9] After the completion of the acquisition, Satyam Computer Services was renamed Mahindra Satyam in June 2009.[10]
