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%.[7] MBT primarily served the telecommunications industry in its early years, with British Telecom as its largest client.[8]
In 2006, MBT was renamed as Tech Mahindra,[9] and it became a publicly-listed company via an initial public offering.[10] In December 2010, British Telecom sold 5.5% of its stake in Tech Mahindra to Mahindra & Mahindra for ₹451 crore.[11] 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.[12]
Acquisition and merger of Satyam
In the aftermath of the Satyam scandal, Tech Mahindra emerged as the top bidder for a 31% controlling stake in Satyam Computer Services, beating a bid from Larsen & Toubro, in April 2009.[13][14] After the completion of the acquisition, Satyam Computer Services was renamed Mahindra Satyam in June 2009.[15] Tech Mahindra's stake in Satyam increased to 42% through a preferential share allotment in July 2009.[16]

Tech Mahindra announced its merger with Mahindra Satyam on 21 March 2012, after getting approval of the two company boards.[20] The new organization would be led by Anand Mahindra as Chairman, Vineet Nayyar as Vice Chairman, and C. P. Gurnani as the CEO and Managing Director.[21][22] On 25 June 2013, Tech Mahindra completed the merger to become India's fifth largest software services company with a turnover of $2.7 billion.[23][24][25] The merger diversified Tech Mahindra's revenue mix, with the telecommunication vertical's share declining from over 90% in 2009[26] to 47% in 2013.[27][28]
