The stock was sold on the open market, and SRSR Holdings now held 2.34 percent of the company's stock, the disclosure showed.

Earlier this week, Satyam said the founders' stake in the firm had dropped to 3.6 percent after institutional lenders sold the stock.

Satyam chairman Ramalinga Raju resigned on Wednesday after revealing India's biggest corporate scandal in memory, sending the company's shares plunging nearly 80 percent. (Reporting by Bharghavi Nagaraju; Editing by John Mair)
