Post election of the Modi led Government, the past couple of years in India have shown a considerable growth in the Mergers and Acquisitions ('M&A') segment. The key sectors in 2015 which reflected a high volume of M&A activity were IT-ITes, healthcare, energy, pharma, e commerce, banking and financial services sectors.
The investor sentiment has changed favourably and a further increase in the volume of M&A activity is expected to be witnessed in the near future due to the Government's reform agenda and policies which have been formulated to encourage foreign investments. Such initiatives range from introduction of the Start-up Policy and the new bankruptcy law to a faster pace of approvals as part of the ease of doing business in India campaign launched by the Government.
We have an experienced team of professionals who have been providing strategic support to a large number of domestic and international clients in the M&A domain, ranging from assistance in due diligence, negotiations and conceptualisation, to documentation and closure support.
