Commenting on the magnitude of the Satyam scam, Mohandas Pai, Head-HR Administration, Infosys, said, he had never imagined something of this proportion would happen. “It is a bad day for corporate
Pai feels outsourcing clients will take a more cautious approach now and people having large exposure to outsourcing will consolidate and work to minimise the risk, he added.
“Investors will be very worried and this is critical time for company and thus management has to be changed for company to protect careers of their employees',.” Pai said. Clients will ask for more information; as Satyam fraud is an aberration with deliberate malicious intent. As far as the FII flows are concerned, there will be an impact, but it will be more selective.
However, according to Pai, the more worrisome thing as of now is what happens to the 50,000 people, because they are innocent people working in the company and there will be a change in the management team.

CP Gurnani of Tech Mahindra said Indian IT industry should call it a crisis situation. However, there need to be some more announcements for employees and shareholders of Satyam. Gurnani believes that none of the scandals get built overnight. "I do assume that the regulator, Chartered Accountants, the auditors should have seen it coming."
“Satyam has a small presence in the telecom and real estate, so we could be interested in part of business if customers want us to.”
However, he said, “There were rumours yesterday and all I can say is that anybody who acquires this company is only basically acquiring lawsuits now. Remember this company also has a presence in the
