Merger & Acquisition

What Are Mergers and Acquisitions?

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory services involve the consolidation of two or more companies into one, wherein the merging companies cease to exist as separate entities. Instead, they combine to form a new entity or become part of an existing one. Typically, no fresh capital investment is made during this process; however, an exchange of shares occurs between the companies involved. Generally, the surviving entity is the buyer, which retains its identity, while the seller’s company is absorbed.

As the second-fastest-growing economy globally, India presents a fertile ground for M&A activities. Investors, large corporations, and industrial conglomerates view the Indian market as burgeoning with opportunities, offering high returns on capital and shareholder investments. Consequently, M&A activities in India have seen a significant uptick, driven by the nation’s thriving economic landscape.

Understanding Mergers as Acquisitions

In essence, what are often termed “mergers” are usually acquisitions. Under M&A advisory, one business acquires another and integrates it into its operations. The term “merger” is frequently used interchangeably with “acquisition,” though the latter more accurately describes the majority of such transactions. This broader understanding of M&A provides a more precise view of the market dynamics at play.

Key Drivers Behind Mergers and Acquisitions

The primary objective of M&A services is to combine organizations to form a single, more robust entity capable of achieving economies of scale, extending market reach, acquiring strategic capabilities, and enhancing competitive advantage. Mergers are a critical tool for companies seeking to expand their operations and increase profitability. In India, the rising trend of mergers can be attributed to various factors, including strategic alliances among large industrial houses, MNCs consolidating their presence, growing competition, and heightened acquisition activity.
