Satyam -- now trading under the Mahindra Satyam brand to reflect its new owner, Tech Mahindra -- will provide support for global testing for MasterCard's business applications, as well as application development in Java and business intelligence, it said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange on Monday. It did not disclose the value of the deal.

"The focus of the center will predominantly be on testing but we will also do software development for MasterCard," said Hari Thalapalli, Satyam's chief marketing officer. The relationship with MasterCard has grown from a one-time deal about six months ago to a more enduring relationship, he said.

Earlier this month, Satyam said it had set up an offshore development center in Hyderabad, India, for health-care company Roche. The center is to deliver services in the areas of application development, testing, project management, and training.

Satyam was plunged into a financial crisis in January 2009 after its co-founder B. Ramalinga Raju confessed that the company's revenue and profit had been inflated for a number of years. The Indian government took over the company and invited bids for a strategic stake. Tech Mahindra acquired a dominant 43 percent of the company.

Satyam reported a loss for the quarter ended March 31, but this was because of a charge to settle a class-action lawsuit from investors in connection with the 2009 scandal. Excluding the charge, the company had a net profit higher than in the previous quarter. Revenue was also higher than in the previous quarter.
