"The market between global IT giants and Indian companies is narrowing and the global delivery model is here to stay. We are moving beyond technology and going towards next stage of evolution that addresses business problems of clients," Ram Mynampati, president, healthcare and commercial businesses at Satyam said.
In the short-term, services like infrastructure management would lead the charge, he said, adding that the large business transformation deals that the company was targeting would accelerate the growth.
"In the last few quarters companies from India are being considered for large deals. We have won a couple of deals and some are in the pipeline," Mynampati, who is the first employee to be inducted to the company board as functional director, said.
To take a slice of the more large contracts that would be available in the coming quarters, Satyam has already set up a Strategic Deals Group within the company which is headed by Hetzel W Folden.
Prior to joining Satyam, Hetzel Folden was the lead negotiator at Computer Science Corporation closing deals worth $3 billion over the last few years.
While the company would continue with the earlier model of distributed leadership, which is most suitable, there would be changes in leadership, Mynampati said.
In 2005-06, the company added 120 new customers in 2005-06 including '12 Fortune Global' and 'US 500' companies.
The total count of clients from 'Fortune Global' and 'US 500' has gone up to 156. In the last quarter of 2005-06 the number of customers added by the company were 22 including Fortune Global and US 500 companies.
