The board of Satyam Computer Services began its meeting in Hyderabad on Saturday to discuss the process of finding a strategic partner after getting the Company Law Board's nod recently.

"The board meeting has started," a company spokesperson said.

The board would discuss the CLB's approval and consider induction of a strategic partner in the IT company, Satyam Chairman Kiran Karnik said on Friday.

A number of suitors, including engineering giant Larsen & Toubro and Spice Group, have evinced interest in acquiring stake in the fraud-hit IT company.
