Maytas was the originally called satyam (Rama linga raju’s fathers name) before the Computer services was started . Post IT services becoming a hit . It was renamed maytas and separated. Ramalinga raju’s son Teja raju (MBA grad from ICFAI Hyd ’07 batch) runs maytas

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word “palindrome” was coined from Greek roots palin (?????; “back”) and dromos (??ó???; “way, direction”) by English writer Ben Jonson in the 1600s. The actual Greek phrase to describe the phenomenon is karkinikê epigrafê (????????? ????????; crab inscription), or simply karkiniêoi (??????????; crabs), alluding to the backward movement of crabs, like an inscription which can be read backwards.

example: MADAM is an palindrome. Satyam is not.

It was no coincidence.

Ramalinga Raju’s Family owns a major share in Maytas. Maytas was the step of Satyam’s owners to move into diversification ala realty. It was born as such.

Maytas was infact named and everyone knew it was related (started by relatives) of Satyam
