Pressure to improve the company's performance.

Capture market.

Achieve billion dollar sales mark.

But once Mr Raju sold shares to the Indian public in 1992 and later, went for a New York listing in 2001, pressure grew on him to improve the company's performance. Ever competitive, he was also in a rush to catch the market leaders, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys Technologies and Wipro. Raju was obsessed with getting past the billion-dollar sales mark. When he got there, he wanted to post US$2 billion. Satyam posted US$2.1 billion (S$3.1 billion) sales in the year to March 31; 2008.With the ever-rising pressure to perform, Satyam began doctoring the books to show bigger profits by manipulating the balance sheet, a process that began several years back.22Regulators investigating Satyam include

Action Taken By AuthoritiesChartered accountants body ICAI constituted a six-member special committee to look into the auditing of crisis-hit Satyam Computer and will submit its auditing report.

Government asked the Serious Frauds Investigation Office (SFIO)

Raju was arrested on charges of cheating, fraud and and other criminal charges under various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) officials came to Hyderabad to investigate the entire scam, but they could not do so as Raju was in the custody of CID.
