Through the last four to five months, the company has been trying to understand branding-related aspirations of stakeholders. For this, it has spoken to about 80,000 associates and conducted various workshops.

As of now, we have identified five verticals—telecom, healthcare, BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance), retail and manufacturing,” said C P Gurnani, managing director, Tech Mahindra and CEO, Mahindra Satyam.

Gurnani added as part of its 2021 vision, the combined entity would aim to be among the top three companies in the verticals it operated in.
