Deals & Transactions
Transaction advisory that uncovers what financial statements don't show — combining forensic financial due diligence, cross-border structuring expertise, and 40 years of India market relationships.
Why Deals & Transactions
Matters Now
The challenges organisations face in this space are growing in complexity and urgency. Here is what is driving the conversation.
Sector-specific approvals from RBI, SEBI, CCI, and IRDAI — combined with state-level NOCs and foreign investment conditions — make Indian deal timelines unpredictable and approval failures costly.
Earnings normalisation and working capital analysis are consistently where Indian due diligence uncovers the largest value adjustments. Revenue recognition and receivables management deserve particular scrutiny.
Related-party transactions — undisclosed or inadequately disclosed — remain one of the most common sources of post-deal litigation and valuation dispute in Indian mid-market M&A.
India's FEMA, the tax treaty landscape, Pillar Two, and sectoral FDI conditions create a structuring puzzle that generic deal advisors frequently get wrong — with significant tax and regulatory consequences.
How We
Deliver
A structured methodology that ensures rigour, transparency, and measurable outcomes at every stage.
Pre-Deal Strategy & Target Identification
We help acquirers define deal rationale, set target criteria, identify and approach targets, and assess strategic fit — before formal process begins.
Financial Due Diligence
Our FDD goes beyond verification to insight — quality of earnings, normalised EBITDA, working capital analysis, debt and debt-like items, and off-balance sheet exposure.
Tax & Regulatory Due Diligence
We assess tax exposures, transfer pricing compliance, FEMA adherence, regulatory approvals required, and deal structure optimisation — integrating tax and deal teams.
Deal Structuring & Negotiation
We design the deal structure to optimise tax efficiency, regulatory approvability, and risk allocation — and support negotiation of SPA, representations, warranties, and indemnities.
Post-Merger Integration
We design and run the 100-day integration plan — synergy capture, finance function integration, reporting structure, and people workstreams — to ensure the value case is actually delivered.
