A Message from an unknown Satyamite



Dear all of my Satyamites,

Yesterday will be a memorable day to us throughout our life. Little bit of business & human nature knowledge is forcing me to write few of my thoughts (Please ignore them if they doesn’t make any sense). Ask yourself who is worst affected by all this mayhem. Is it u & me (employees), Govt or Satyam & Ramalingaraju ?. My conviction says that employees of any MNC are associated to that company as long as they don’t have any better option, the best thing government can do for a company is to keep itself away from it. But there was a visionary who created wealth for a nation for 20 years, the only thing that cannot be separated from Satyam for these 20 years & ahead also if Satyam remains was\is a name called “Ramalinga Raju”. Fortunately I got some 15 min of time talking to him when i was an ELTP. He’s much softer than we see him. Imagine what would be going on in his mind when he was writing yesterday’s letter accepting all the things which he did only to save his company. All have made him scapegoat for what has happened & left the company keeping their integrity intact. He was cursed badly for putting the money of a public limited company into his family driven company but it only now clear that how he was transferrring the risk from 50,000 people to his two sons & his known-integrity.

The worst which can happen to we the employees is that we are out of our current job, jobless for time being & then again getting a job which we deserve & our families will be worried for us(as they are always). But a relatively bitter truth will be for the Raju-family who will be annoyed for ages & will be treated as miscreants by those who do not know the truth or more about Greedy investors & money market. And the truth is that he has not stolen some thousand crores rupees into his own pocket, it was a bubble he created which busted. (And every other company on earth does so, being wary of not getting trapped)



One more thing which annoys me is does a philanthropist guy deserve this disgraceful exit ? I really feel sad about the way he’s been portrait in the media. Our rustic fellows have already started comparing him with Harshad Mehta. Tell me any incident in corporate India where any chairman has dared to confess such irregularities in his own firm. And believe me it takes hell lot of guts to accept all this publicly. And as I read the news today morning it was published there that even his community members have suggested him not to tell anything and later on he can play with the Indian laws as every politician does in India. But as he mentioned it was all deep regret in his conscience which lead him to confess all this.

I am not at all saying that he’s totally innocent and unaware of what’s been going there but a person who has started a journey called Satyam 20 yrs ago with few associates and made it 4th largest IT Company in India, done all this for sake of his 50000 Satyam family members. In the end i’ll ask only one question to all of my friends,” for whom he has created this bubble, if it was he who was going bankrupt? ”
Satyam will get back up from all of those

80,000 families who got benefited in past 20 years.

from all 30 villeges under By Raju foundation.

From 1/2 million homeless children who are in Satyam foundation camp and under care indirectly.

From all under developed nations where Satyam Foundation has worked enormously shoulder to shoulder with local NGOs.

Price Waterhouse Achievements, are they looking for more...??

1. Dell, Inc. litigation On January 31, 2007 PwC was named as a co-defendant in a class action lawsuit filed against Dell, the world's number two PC manufacturer. Taken on behalf of shareholders, the lawsuit alleges that Dell, and its auditors, failed to disclose information about Dell's financial condition.
2.Tyco settlement In July 2007, PwC agreed to pay $225 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by shareholders of Tyco International Ltd over a multibillion-dollar accounting fraud.
3. Global Trust Bank, PwC fail to detect huge levels of NPA of the bank. The NPA had accumulated due to massive exposure made by the erstwhile bank into the stock market which PwC is alleged to have overlooked.
4. DSQ collapse
5. Satyam , it was again PricewaterhouseCoopers who certified that Satyam's balance sheet carried figures for cash and bank balances of Rs 5,040 crore, as of 30 September 2008, against Rs 5,361 crore reflected in the books.

On 15 march, 2008, the Reserve Bank of India has withdrawn the blanket ban imposed on the international audit and consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) from auditing banks and non-banking finance institutions.

Also, in Japan Chup Aoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers was banned by the country’s regulator. Then, PwC floated a new company called Arata to take up audit assignments with new partners. The Satyam case has a parallel in the 2005 book-keeping fraud at the Japanese cosmetics and textiles maker, Kanebo, where again the auditor was Chuo Aoyama PwC.

Company History 3: Goodyear


The company Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded in 1898 when Frank Seiberling purchased what would be the first plant of the company with the money he borrowed from his brother.
In 1901 Frank Seiberling provided Henry Ford with racing tires. By 1908 Ford was outfitting his Model T with Goodyear tires. A year later Goodyear manufactured its first aircraft tire.
Seiberling decided to christen the company with the name of the courageous pioneer Charles Goodyear, the discoverer of the vulcanization of rubber. Also, he chose the winged foot logo that used to continue today, has become a symbolic link to the past of the company.
