History

Historical Context

In January 2009 Satyam Computer Services founder Ramalinga Raju confessed to a INR7,000-crore accounting fraud, prompting SEBI scrutiny, board overhaul and tighter disclosure rules. The present Reliance Capital case, involving Anil Ambani and former MD Satish Seth, mirrors Satyam’s mis-statement of investments, showing how the 2009 scandal still shapes India’s corporate-governance enforcement.
