HYDERABAD, India, September 23, 2008: Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (NYSE: SAY), a leading global consulting and IT services provider, announced today that it has opened a development center in the Pune Special Economic Zone at the Rajiv Gandhi InfoTech Park, Hinjawadi. The 475,000 square-foot facility will eventually accommodate 4750 associates.

Satyam now has 30 development centers in India and another 19 around the world. Its growing development capabilities are part of a trend.
“Our investment in this development center is further indication that the country is emerging as an innovation leader,” said Virender Aggarwal, Head of Satyam’s APAC and MEIA regions. “It is also an indication that Pune is becoming India’s next IT hub.”
This state-of-the-art facility, which Satyam leases from DLF, features cutting-edge networking equipment. It also is equipped with ample backup power, which will eliminate technical disruptions to operations. Moreover, in building the center, Satyam paid particular attention to its employees’ well-being.

Additionally, it has a well-equipped gymnasium, recreation center and meditation room.
SBI Life, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Uday Sankar Roy inaugurated the facility at a ceremony, “As one of its customers, I am glad a company of such high repute as Satyam has invested in Pune”, he said. “India is a recognized global leader in IT services and it needs state-of-the-art infrastructure, such as this facility, to convey that image to the world.”
