Three top execs quit Satyam's BPO arm

Three senior support managers at Satyam Computer’s BPO unit have resigned.

A company spokesperson said Satyam BPO Global Head (Human Resources) Naresh Jhangiani, V Satyanandam (Head of corporate services) and Kulwinder Singh (Head of marketing-Asia Pacific), have resigned.

“Apart from Jhangiani, the other two executives are from middle management. They had put in their papers a month or two back as they looked out for better opportunities,” the spokesperson said.

Last week, Vineet Nayyar, the CEO of Satyam’s new owner Tech Mahindra, had said Satyam had 10,000 excess staffers.

The spokesperson said these exits do not have a bearing on the statement and “there would be no impact on the company of their (three managers’) exit”.

“The company is looking at smoothening the process and no significant impact is expected on the daily operations, as these executives work for supporting teams,” he said.

Satyam BPO was set up in 2002 as Nipuna and handles most Satyam customers.

Its clients come primarily from the banking, financial services, insurance and manufacturing sectors. It has about 2,400 employees and one delivery centre each in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai.
