Murthy, Satyam's new CEO

AS Murthy, a vetreran of Satyam has been appointed as new CEO. Previous CEO Raju was arrested on charge of 7,000 crore fraud in company in Jan, 2009. Mr. Murthy has been associated with Satyam for 15 years and was heading company's global delivery unit.

Though it could be a concern for many that an internal face will not be able to clean Satyam's name in international community (as it is still not clear who are all were invovled in scam), it could be positive for current clients as they will be comfortable dealing with a known person than a strange new face.

Another good news for Satyam is to get sanction of Rs 600 crore of loan from banks for meeting operation expenditure of company. Company board was already putting effort to collect pending receivables from client and along with this loan, company could have enough cash in hand to plan a month wise strategy for improving situation.

What do you think? Will Satyam strike back or go down?
