Mahindra Satyam shareholders received two shares of Tech Mahindra stock for every 17 shares of Mahindra Satyam stock they owned. Shares in the new entity began trading on 12 July 2013. On 24 July 2013, a division bench of Andhra Pradesh High Court admitted a petition filed by Ekadanta Greenfields and Saptaswara Agro Farms challenging the Mahindra Satyam-Tech Mahindra merger order. The two firms argued that their objections to the merger had not been considered in full. Finances After the scandal hit, the companies revenue collapsed and the new new chairman, Vineet Nayyar, suggested that a turnaround would take three years.

Several of Satyam's clients responded by re-evaluating their relationship with the company. Satyam's investors lost about in the related panic selling, as Satyam's shares fell 55% on the New York Stock Exchange. Four members of the board of directors resigned on 29 December 2008.
