Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Indian IT outsourcer, Satyam, has had more than its share of corporate scandals and all sorts of problems over the past year, but in Australia, at least, it’s getting on with building its business, with the appointment of a new man to head up business development just five months after installing a new country manager for Australia and New Zealand.
Mahindra Satyam's country manager for ANZ, Venki
Prathivadi, today announced the appointment of Bobby Gupta as head of
sales and new business development for Australia and New Zealand, to
lead the company’s sales and new business team, and to be responsible
for other “key initiatives in the Asia Pacific that will be announced
over the coming months.”
As iTWire reported in February this year, fresh from the worst
corporate scandal to hit post tech miracle India, Satyam Computer
Services appointed the company's HR boss, Mr A.S. Murty, as CEO,
following the dismissal and subsequent arrest of Satyam CEO and
co-founder Ramalinga Raju and his brother B. Rama Raju on charges of
corporate fraud.
Prathivadi said Gupta has more than 18 years of experience in the IT
industry in leading, managing and selling middleware / infrastructure
solutions, application software (ERP & CRM Solutions), strategic
outsourcing (SO), application management, business transformation
(BTO), large and complex system integration projects & professional
services.
Prior to joining Mahindra Satyam, Gupta has primarily worked for IBM in
the company’s software group and global business services and most
recently with IBM’s global technology services where he was running the
telecom expenses management practice as AP sales leader.
Prathivadi said Gupta is “a great addition to our team as we continue
to increase our focus on emerging technologies and verticals to drive
the business in the ANZ regions. He will help us to further strengthen
our capabilities in verticals such as banking, retail, utilities,
public services (including Government) and healthcare, pharma and life
sciences.”
Gupta is a graduate in electronics engineering and an MBA from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
