HYDERABAD, India, January 21 /PRNewswire/ --

- Chicago-Based Management Consulting Firm Strengthens Company's
High-End Business Services

Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (NYSE:SAY), a leading business
and information technology services provider, today announced that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bridge Strategy Group, a
Chicago, Ill.-based management consulting firm. In making the $35 million,
all-cash purchase, Satyam significantly reinforces its strategy consulting
and business transformation capabilities.

"Bridge Strategy Group is a highly respected organization that
is well known for its exceptional professionals and its acumen in seven key
industries," said Satyam Founder & Chairman, B. Ramalinga Raju. "By absorbing
the company, we gain an immediate influx of 36 brilliant and experienced
strategy consultants, most of whom are alumni of the world's best strategy
consulting firms and business schools. We also significantly bolster our
ability to provide the entire spectrum of services to global customers. At
the same time, Bridge Group clients gain access to Satyam's world-class
business process and technology skills and global resources."

Bridge Strategy, which was founded in 1998, earned $17 million
in revenue last fiscal year. It develops profitable growth, operations
design, performance improvement, and execution strategies for clients of
varying size. It also boasts a strong thought leadership focus, and is
committed to helping its clients "rapidly improve their business
performance."

Numerous factors make the acquisition ideal for Satyam, Raju
said. The organization's strategy, when purchasing other companies, is to:

- Add higher value service offerings

- Bridge competency gaps

- Enhance leadership capabilities

- Add sound and significant customer relationships

- Strengthen the brand

"Bridge Strategy does all of the above," he said. "With its
experts as part of our team, Satyam will deliver superior, end-to-end
transformational solutions with even greater speed and efficiency. As we
deepen our relationships with longstanding customers, they expect us to
provide highly strategic counsel. We are now more able to accommodate that
demand."

For their part, Bridge Strategy professionals look forward to
helping their new colleagues create more complete solutions for global
clients.

"The strategic business problems Bridge Strategy clients face
frequently call for complex business process and technology solutions, which
makes this merger a natural fit," said Bridge Strategy President and Senior
Partner Stephen E. Sheridan. "We are pleased to add our skills to Satyam's
broad range of capabilities, and to help the company strengthen its place at
the forefront of the professional services industry."

While Bridge Strategy will continue to serve clients in the
US, Satyam's largest and most mature market, its services will be made
available to Satyam clients worldwide via Satyam's advanced global delivery
model.

Sheridan, the current president of Bridge Strategy, will
assume the role of CEO for the unit after the acquisition, and will report to
Satyam Co-founder & CEO, Rama Raju, who will also serve as chairman of Bridge
Strategy Group. All current partners and staff are expected to remain with
the unit.

For the foreseeable future, Bridge Strategy will operate as a
fully owned subsidiary of Satyam, and maintain its name and brand. Plans to
seamlessly integrate the firm into Satyam's global network of capabilities
are under way, and initially focus on defining go-to-market strategies and
value proposition and competency development.
