Mahindra Satyam to provide second break to women professionals

Msat today said it is stepping up efforts to attract the talent across Asia-Pacific and India, two of its fastest growing markets.

"'Starting Over’, a lateral recruiting initiative taps into a highly talented pool of mid-career women, seeking to restart their careers at Mahindra Satyam after having taken a break for personal reasons," Mahindra Satyam said in a statement.

“Women make a significant part of the technology workforce today and ‘Starting Over’ is novel way of honing that talent base effectively. 'Starting Over’ nurtures the talent right from the initial application stage and ensures opportunities to all candidates by offering three employment avenues: internship and part time or full time employment," said Suresh Samudrala, Head HR, Asia Pacific, and Mahindra Satyam, said.

He added, "This way, we ensure that all the candidates are optimally employed.”
According to Madhavi Lakkaraju, who has been re-employed by the company as a part of this initiative, Msat is the first company that is offering a chance to start careers all over again.
