M&A Summit

On the back of 9%+ GDP growth, ever-bullish capital markets and unshackling of regulatory restrictions, Indian entrepreneurs are looking outwards like never before in their goal to create truly global businesses. And M&A is proving to be a popular tool in this pursuit.

The ever increasing number and size of overseas companies being acquired clearly demonstrates India Inc’s rising confidence and vigor to plant its flags around the globe. However, amidst all the euphoria surrounding global acquisitions, there are several key questions that need effective addressing to ensure that such deals create long term value.

Questions like

Are cross-border acquisitions the latest seasonal fad?

What type of company is ready for such a deal?

Can SMEs play this cross-border game?

Identifying targets: Look East or West?

What are the pitfalls to watch out for – political, regulatory and cultural?

Can uncertainty concerning the rupee throw a spanner into the works?

What are the key red flags that due diligence should look out for in such deals?

How can key management talent be retained post acquisition?

What are the financing options available?

Who Should Attend?

Top executives from companies across industries like IT, Auto Components, Pharmaceuticals, etc.
