We are confident Siddhartha won't harm Mindtree: Exec chairman Natarajan

Information technology services firm Mindtree is on the cusp of growth, with annual revenue of $1 billion. But, with its largest investor, V G Siddhartha, planning to offload his 21 per cent stake, fears of management disruption or a hostile takeover has surfaced. Mindtree Executive Chairman KRISHNAKUMAR NATARAJAN told Debasis Mohapatra that Siddhartha would not harm the company. Edited excerpts:

What options do you have if Siddhartha sells his stake to an entity that forces a management change?

I think that’s quite speculative. He (Siddhartha) has not shown that he wants to do anything like that.

Our business has been built for sustainability,
