Satyam Computer Services may be poised to win large contracts worth around $400 million in revenues from some government-run entities and multi-national firms, giving the scandal-tainted firm a welcome breather at a time it is vulnerable to large-scale customer defections.
A top Satyam official, who asked not to be named, said the company was the front-runner for large contracts from the Indian Railways, BSNL, Vizag Steel Plant and the Indian Mint, as it was the lowest bidder.
The contracts from these entities are for tasks such as data management, information infrastructure management and deploying new applications. Rival bidders eyeing these contracts include IBM, Accenture, CSC, TCS, Infosys and Wipro.
Some of Satyam’s overseas clients are also likely to increase their engagement with it, the official said, listing a $100-million multi-year contract from a large global telecom company that is close to being finalised and additional work from a US-based technology company and a Swiss-based vending services company. The official declined to name the companies.
