Tech Mahindra chairman Anand Mahindra on Monday ruled out immediate job losses among the 45,000-odd Satyam employees but added that an integration team “is already in place in Hyderabad to decide on the staff strength” for the acquired company. Speaking at a press conference after the first detailed meeting with the staff of the company taken over by Tech Mahindra last week, he said, “Our immediate plan would be to retain current customers, win back businesses and retain the key 100 associates.”
