Tech Mahindra is an Indian multinational information technology services and consulting company. It was formed in 1986 as a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra and BT Group. Part of the Mahindra Group, the company is headquartered in Pune and has its registered office in Mumbai.[6]

History

[edit]

In 1986, Mahindra & Mahindra started a 60:40 joint venture technology services outsourcing firm with British Telecom named Mahindra British Telecom (MBT). In 2000, British Telecom committed business of at least £105 million over three years; as a consideration, British Telecom's stake in MBT increased to 43%.[7] MBT primarily served the telecommunications industry in its early years, with British Telecom as its largest client.[8]

In 2006, MBT was renamed as Tech Mahindra,[9] and it became a publicly-listed company via an initial public offering.[10] In December 2010, British Telecom sold 5.5% of its stake in Tech Mahindra to Mahindra & Mahindra for ₹451 crore.[11] In August 2012, British Telecom sold 14.1% of its stake to institutional investors for about ₹1,395 crore. In December 2012, British Telecom sold its remaining 9.1% stake to institutional investors for ₹1,011.4 crore. This sale marked the exit of British Telecom from Tech Mahindra.[12]

Acquisition and merger of Satyam

[edit]

In the aftermath of the Satyam scandal, Tech Mahindra emerged as the top bidder for a 31% controlling stake in Satyam Computer Services, beating a bid from Larsen & Toubro, in April 2009.[13][14] After the completion of the acquisition, Satyam Computer Services was renamed Mahindra Satyam in June 2009.[15] Tech Mahindra's stake in Satyam increased to 42% through a preferential share allotment in July 2009.[16]

In 2010, Mahindra Satyam and Morpho were awarded a contract by UIDAI to implement the biometric identification system for the Aadhaar programme.[17] Mahindra Satyam, along with Tech Mahindra, was the official IT services provider for the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups.[18][19]

Tech Mahindra announced its merger with Mahindra Satyam on 21 March 2012, after getting approval of the two company boards.[20] The new organization would be led by Anand Mahindra as Chairman, Vineet Nayyar as Vice Chairman, and C. P. Gurnani as the CEO and Managing Director.[21][22] On 25 June 2013, Tech Mahindra completed the merger to become India's fifth largest software services company with a turnover of $2.7 billion.[23][24][25] The merger diversified Tech Mahindra's revenue mix, with the telecommunication vertical's share declining from over 90% in 2009[26] to 47% in 2013.[27][28]

Later years

[edit]

In 2013, Mahindra Group company Mahindra Engineering Services (MES) merged with Tech Mahindra.[29]

In 2015, Tech Mahindra and Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) jointly purchased a controlling stake in Pininfarina S.p.A., an Italian automotive and industrial design company.[30] By March 2016, Tech Mahindra's post-tax earnings had surpassed that of M&M.[31]

Tech Mahindra was ranked 5th among India's IT firms and overall 47th on Fortune India 500 list for 2019.[32]

In 2023, Tech Mahindra and FIDE organized the Global Chess League, an over-the-board rapid chess league.[33][34]
