About this service

What we deliver

Whether you are acquiring a competitor, merging for market share, or seeking a strategic exit — our M&A team provides full-cycle advisory. From target identification and financial modeling to due diligence, deal structuring, regulatory approvals, and post-merger integration.

Why M&A needs specialist advisory in India

Buying or selling a business is usually the largest financial transaction an entrepreneur will ever make — and the most unforgiving. Deals in India fail or destroy value for predictable reasons: unrealistic valuations, hidden liabilities discovered too late, poorly structured payment terms, tax-inefficient structures, and regulatory surprises under FEMA, SEBI, or the Companies Act.

Professional advisory changes the odds. With an experienced deal team running valuation, diligence, negotiation, and documentation, you enter every conversation with leverage and exit with a structure that protects you long after closing.

What our M&A advisory covers

For sellers: confidential preparation of the business for sale, defensible valuation, a professionally packaged information memorandum, discreet buyer outreach through our marketplace and investor network, negotiation support, and deal-room management through to closing.

For buyers: acquisition strategy and target sourcing, initial screening and valuation, coordinated financial and legal due diligence, deal structuring — asset versus share purchase, earn-outs, deferred payments — regulatory approvals, and post-merger integration planning so the value you paid for actually materialises.

Who this service is for

Business owners planning a full or partial exit, promoters raising strategic capital, companies acquiring competitors or suppliers, and family businesses navigating succession through sale. Typical engagement sizes range from ₹1 crore to ₹500 crore enterprise value across manufacturing, services, healthcare, technology, and consumer sectors.

How it works

Our step-by-step process

01

Strategy & valuation

We define your objectives — exit, acquisition, or capital raise — and establish a defensible valuation range using DCF, comparable transactions, and earnings multiples.

02

Preparation & packaging

Financials are cleaned up, the growth story is documented in an information memorandum, and the data room is assembled before anyone is approached.

03

Counterparty search

We run confidential, targeted outreach to qualified buyers, sellers, or investors through our listing marketplace, mandate network, and direct channels.

04

Negotiation & diligence

Term sheets are negotiated with our support, and we coordinate financial, legal, and operational due diligence while keeping the deal on schedule.

05

Closing & integration

Definitive agreements are finalised with legal partners, regulatory filings completed, funds flow structured, and a 100-day integration plan set in motion.

01

Target Identification

Industry mapping, competitor analysis, and proprietary deal sourcing through our network of 500+ business owners and PE funds across India.

02

Business Valuation

DCF, comparable transactions, asset-based, and earnings multiple methodologies. SEBI-compliant reports accepted by banks, investors, and courts.

03
