The company made a strategic bid for Satyam Computer Services, emerging as the top bidder with an offer of ₹58.90 per share for a 31 % stake in the company. This victory came after fierce competition with a formidable rival, Larsen & Toubro._x000D_ _x000D_ On March 21, 2012, Tech Mahindra officially announced its merger with Mahindra Satyam following the approval of both companies' boards.
