The “India story” has seen a profound shift in gear and direction during the last few years. Indian companies are expanding beyond outsourcing and investment hubs to become global market-shapers through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This M&A trend is a key factor helping Indian companies to emerge on the global stage. While carefully constructed acquisitions are creating real value for Indian companies, many companies are also facing challenges such as mindset issues, regulatory concerns, strategic due diligence, post integration challenges etc.. The objective of “Inorganic Growth” cluster is to provide a common platform for Indian companies to address such challenges more effectively. The members will be able to collectively think, share, learn and build upon the best practices in the areas of opportunity identification, deal structuring, deal closure, post merger integration for their inorganic growth. This cluster aims to create a rich repository of experiences and knowledge drawing on the expertise of the different members, strategic consulting firms and knowledge partners, which will help the members to adopt a mature approach towards their accelerated inorganic drive.
