In an indication of its turnaround process, IT firm Mahindra Satyam on Monday said it will hire nearly 17,000 people this fiscal as business sentiment improves for the country's IT industry.

"We will hire more than 12,000 people this fiscal and another 5,000 will be hired from campuses, either from engineering or management colleges," Mahindra Satyam, Head of recruitment, M V Sridhar told PTI. Currently, Satyam has a total headcount of around 30,000. This year's hiring would take the company's headcount to about 50,000, about 3,000 less than its pre-crisis staff strength of 53,000.

The company has posted a consolidated net loss of Rs 327 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, on account of exceptional expenditure, including payments made to settle SEC and Upaid lawsuits in the US. Revenues for the fourth quarter registered a growth of 7.5 per cent vis-a-vis the previous quarter to Rs 1,375.3 crore.

After its founder Ramalinga Raju confessed to a multi-crore accounting fraud, Satyam Computers saw the exodus of many of its employees and mid-level executives. Since then, the company has been acquired by Tech Mahindra and has been rebranded as Mahindra Satyam.
