The Satyam Scandal: How an IT Giant Collapsed | 2D Animation

On the quiet morning of January 7, 2009, the chairman of a major Indian IT company drafted an email that would expose an unprecedented financial illusion.

But beneath this success lay a massive deficit driven by a dangerous obsession with real estate.
