Satyam Maytas Palindrome Syndrome

Now that Satyam-Maytas deal has entered the B-schools case study (corp governance), it’s interesting to look at the palindrome syndrome between the two companies:

Palindrome: S A T Y A M | M A Y T A S

The two are palindrome and maybe, its time to add a palindrome syndrome while evaluating M&A deals!

Another interesting palindrome:

I N B O X | X O B N I

Interestingly, MS offered $20mnto Xobni!

Is there a correlation you want to derive from these two cases (that palindromes always get a good deal? 🙂 ).
