Growth Opportunities
Intra-Sector
With four IT companies and a wealth of technological platforms, working with Mahindra
provides you with the opportunity to develop a rich web of IT skills. Each organization has skill
development programs in place to help you grow from one stage in your career to the next.

Mahindra Satyam has created an enterprise-wide learning ecosystem called Mahindra

Satyam Learning World (MSLW) to support the learning and development needs of all
our employees through a single platform. Designed to support the entire career arc
from entry level to senior leadership, MSLW provides the support for continuous
learning and skill development over the course of your career.

MSLW uses a combination of classroom training, virtual learning courses, webinars, and
webcasts to develop technical, domain, and process education; managerial and
behavioral expertise; leadership development; and culture and foreign language training.
MSLW also partners with BITS Pilani to offer a Masters in Software Engineering for
employees who want to pursue higher education while working. This program prepares
employees for promotion to Senior Software Engineer within two years and Specialist

Our attention to career development made us the first non-US organization to be

Tech Mahindra offers education sponsorships to foster continuous learning. We partner

with institutions including IIT Mumbai, BITS Pilani, University College, London and the
Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. We are the first company to join IIT’s Distance
Education Program to impart higher education to employees in the field of IT and
Project Management. Launched in 2003, our work-integrated learning programs with
BITS enable employees to pursue further expertise in Telecommunications and Software
engineering. We also support employees who wish to undertake Masters or Doctorate
programs in top Indian business schools or at leading universities in other countries. We

Inter-Sector
Our structure as a federation of more than 40 companies in diverse industries gives our
employees unusual opportunity for growth. Employees can develop and pursue interest in
almost any field of business by moving between Mahindra’s sectors. We offer job rotation
programs to match aspirations with business needs and vacancies.

We identify and develop talent through our Global Leadership Council and invite outstanding
young employees to join our Shadow Boards. The Shadow Board mirrors the Board of Directors,
giving its members the opportunity to field new ideas for strategic and operational business
plans.

Our IT companies serve clients around the world. As a result, opportunities to live and work
abroad arise to fulfill on-site requirements. Last year, Mahindra Satyam alone procured H1B
visas for 3,000 employees.

International postings usually last for two years. Depending on the project and the length of
your stay, you will either earn an offshore salary with incentives or an onsite salary.

Diversity
Diversity is critical to innovation and our global expansion. We seek capable employees from a
variety of backgrounds to expand our talent pool and advance our understanding of customer
demographics. As we expand globally, diversity plays a critical role in our cultural fluency and
our ability to integrate successfully into foreign markets. We welcome talented individuals

employer.
