Patni Computer Systems Limited was a provider of IT services and business solutions founded by Narendra Patni. It merged with IGATE Corporation in 2011[3] and operated under the name IGATE Patni until 2012.[4] The company has employed over 18,000 people in 23 international offices across the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, as well as offshore development centres in eight cities in India. Patni's clients included more than 360 Fortune 1000 companies.[5][6]

In 2009, Patni Computer Systems appointed Jeya Kumar as the new CEO following a two-year global search.[7] After taking charge, Kumar traveled extensively and met with clients, leading the company through its "Patni 2.0" phase with a vision for the company's future.[8]
