Syntel has its own issues. Its a huge animal carrying its own kind of diseases. The management is corrupt from top to the bottom, Communism, regionalism and favoritism is deep rooted in the system. Its true that Syntel does not have the courage to hunt its caged lions (Upper management\Bosses) and therefore went on this rabbit hunt spree.
I worked in that company for four years and now away from the mess (Thankfully!). I know how badly the management chooses the candidates like open buffet dishes.
Although you try hard, very soon you will see some chamcha getting better rewards than you.
Most of the training and management activities are used as tool to fulfill such deeds.
So if you choose wrong people then you suffer losses and then you do more bull$h!t like this.
Its a failure of management and not of the people.
Lets hope that the guys will get the best opportunities outside but its a shame on Syntel and its management.
