Satyam, This onez for you.

I promised Anwesa on her blog that my next post would be the TAG she passed on but I could not help writing this one. My apologies for that. Past few days have been negativity personified yet I always saw the positives there, as most of you know, I can't help but be positive. :) We all know about Satyam and I would not go bashing and thrashing Raju coz I know the media is doing that and somewhere deep down almost 70% of the nation is doing that... I have worked with this organization for 2 years and left it a couple of years back. For me it has been the most wonderful place I have ever worked at. I took my baby-steps there, I learnt to be a smart techie, a good manager and altogether a good human being. When I worked there, people gave me more respect than ever. Satyam was more of a TEMPLE in Hyderabad when I worked there and I am not exaggerating, nopes...I am not. You'd go anywhere in hyderabad and they'll treat you with respect and warmth coz you belong to Satyam. I have seen Satyam grow (may be it was all fake) but I saw it grow. Satyam was the first one to launch a EMR service in Hyderabad... We had their ambulances and Emergency response team helping people in times of crisis. I was proud to be associated with them. Satyam has also helped in social causes the major being AIDS Awareness, I have walked for AIDS, I have worked with volunteers helping rurals and urbans so they prevent this disastorous syndrome. Satyam has done a lot for people in Andhra and everywhere else as much as they could. Employees taught street kids, rehabilitated them. Altogether, Satyam Foundation did a lot for the society throught is employees and people associated with it. I still remember when I used to walk into a shop heading straight from office wearing my badge, people would say,"Ah! you are from Satyam. Wow!". My most favourite boss belongs to Satyam. He taught me how to be humble even when you are as great as him. He taught me to be human enuff even when you are managing things in the worst of times. Giri Sir has been my inspiration for life. He is a father figure and I'll always stand by him. In total, Satyam made me a better person and made me realize my dreams... dreams of owning some material things as well as confidence of my parents in me. The organization that stood by me in my bad times, I would want to stand by it, in its bad times. I want to let all the people I know in Satyam know that its not their fault at all and I stand by them. :) I know it may not make a difference to what they are going through but still it is always good to know that there is someone who stands by you and who'll try to help you out some way or the another. I have some wonderful set of people there and I am glad I worked with them. I want to thank Satyam for all it has given me and I know most of the employees felt the same until Jan 7(maybe). I hope and truly wish that everyone in Satyam works together to come out of it and create an example for everyone to follow. I know they need cash, I know they have lost it all but then as I put it on my blog: "WHEN YOU HIT ROCK BOTTOM, THE ONLY WAY IS UP" Pic : http://www1.istockphoto.com
