Gurnani wants Mahindra Satyam known for transparency

New Mahindra Satyam CEO C P Gurnani has said that he would strive for making the company known for its transparency and governance standards.

In a communication to associates in the company, Gurnani, who was heading the global operations of Tech Mahindra before his new assignment said, "We have redesigned the organisation structure to make it more customer-centric and agile and decision making in the company is being accelerated."

He further said that the access to customers and geographic penetration is enhanced.

"My priority is to get the company re-energised and leverage these strengths (delivery excellence, domain experiences) effectively, to gain traction for accelerated growth," Gurnani said.

Tech Mahindra named Gurnani to succeed A S Murthy on Tuesday.

"I am interested in future when we are recognised for our governance standards, transparency and values. I am interested in future when our associates are fearless and can match up to business challenge that comes their way," he said.

"...Unfortunate events following January have taken thier toll on the company and have seriously dented out image, business and morale.  Ever since April, when Tech Mahindra emerged as an investor, I have had the opportunity to travel and meet some of our customers... One thing common was whatever be the past, they are interested in the future.
