Satyam bid: cognizant gains higher chance..

Hours before the final lap of the Satyam bids, US-based IT services company Cognizant is holding a crucial meeting in Hyderabad.

According to information available exclusively with we the cognizites, Cognizant CEO Francisco D'souza flew in to Hyderabad on Friday to hold a senior management call on Satyam. He also addressed the trainees in the campus. Surprisingly this was his first visit to the centre since its inception.

The move is interesting because Cognizant, so far, has not made any formal comment on the Satyam bid.

Cognizant was incorporated as a 26% partnership between Satyam and the Dun and Bradsheet Group in 1994. Now, with over $924 million in cash, the offshoot of Satyam is gearing up to gobble the parent.

D'souza said Coginzant is best equipped to handle the Satyam bid, and the company has enough cash to acquire Satyam.

UTVi has learnt that two bidders - Wilbur Ross and Tech Mahindra - are unlikely to bid for Satyam. That leaves only two players - L&T and Cognizant - in the race to acquire 51% stake in Satyam.

The new onwer is likely to be announced tomorrow(13/04/2009). The deal is expected to be based on a share price between Rs 55-60, and the valuation of the company is expected to be around $2.4 billion.

Will Cognizant Takeover Satyam

Almost the day is nearing..
just 5 more days to the D-Day.. April 13th
The day Satyam will announce the bid winner for the buying of the scam hit Indian IT Major..
Running up in the competition the Final list released had the potential winners listed as L&T, Tech Mahindra, both from India and Gross from US and also the US based Cognizant technology solutions...
Cognizant Technology solutions is always related to satyam as both had the same roots of origin..
Yeah Satyam Started its growth as DBSS(Dun & Bradstreet Satyam Software) with DB holding 74% and Satyam holding 26% shares in it.. Later Satyam software split up as a separate one and so DB needed an IT arm and hence it started CTS.. Cognizant Technology Solutions as its IT arm.. So both Satyam and Cognizant Belong to the same family and there will be a soft corner and eye on satyam for Cognizant..
Moreover Cognizant is concerned on its US base of clients while Satyam has global reach because of its SAP.... so if cognizant wins the bid surely it will extend the reach of Cognizant and it will also make it move further as the Top IT Major of the county...
Hence the possibilities are high for Cognizant overtaking Satyam
Lets wait and see if it happens

After a long time....

Yeah...
Its almost two months back i last posted a post..
All because of the Unemployment...
It is really absurd to be in home, when we have an offer letter in hand, but we dont know when we will be called..
Just speculations running in our mind about the date we will be called and expecting each God to be in favour of us....
Totally a stupid phase of life..
Losing Salary, losing life, losing fun, losing experience...
Gaining nothing..
Totally the life sucks to be in such way,.......
Had I been to any college I wud have completed 2 semesters as a lecturer.
At least I could have finished one year of my MBA dream
Or if i have been Married I could atleast have became a Father ... :D :D
But nothing happened..

Just Idle .... Waiting.... Bored.. Frustrated,.... In short I am gone Nutts....

Dont Let your Personal Information:

Most of us will have te habit of creating a profile either its personal or professional in the available websites. We do so that we may get a public identity and may get to know well to many friends. But there is a great risk in doing so warns the experts. According to a transcript in the hindu, These are posing a way for the intruders to get thourough knowledge of you. For example let us consider two sites and the danger posed by it. We are will be well aware of the sites ORKUT and LINKED IN . These are the leading sites in offering personal and professional profile through their social networking concept. You might be thinking that the ORKUT reveals only the personal part like your studies, mail address and nothing else. But there is a part in it called the Communities. I bet mostly 99% of orkut users will be a member of the community representing our company, college or so. This is enough for them. This gives them the hint that U work for the XYZ firm. Then they check the community for the XYZ firm in LINKED IN. Undoubtedly U will be a member there too and tey will create a profile posing as an employee of XYZ firm and they will join your network. You will also think him as your colleague and u will authorise him. but he can easily get to know well about u, ur habits, Ur income and more. Then he can easily nab u at the place u frequent(Gained from ORKUT) and demand for the salary on the salary day(thanks to Linked in). So If you are in these networks, it does not mean that you should discontinue using them. U can use them while some care need to be taken. Just make sure that the Important information are not shared. Use different id for different sites. Best is use gmail because it will prevent spamming. U can find how it prevents in the next post I am posting. Wishing you all safe and secure profile over the web.
