Quarterly Update on the M&A Market in India

Oaklins is pleased to present the first issue of this new magazine dedicated to M&A in India. Its aim is to provide updates on promising sectors for deals as well as putting the spotlight on the country’s prominent finance and business leaders.

Introducing the new publication, our India-based Oaklins colleague, Vikas Dawra, gives an overview of the current M&A situation in the country. Recent government reforms and initiatives, including tax cuts and policies to make it easier to do business, combined with demographic advantages and a robust financial sector provide the basis for a favourable outlook going forward.

Shubhada Rao, Chief Economist, YES BANK, provides a detailed update on the Indian economy. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of the current global economic situation, India’s relative international appeal remains firm. In addition, three features delve into sectors that are key to the national economy and offer opportunities for those looking to invest: technology, media and telecom, pharmaceuticals, and media and entertainment.

Outstanding business leaders are also interviewed in the magazine. Anshuman Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of Stellar Value Chain Solutions, talks about the billion-dollar investment needed to modernize the country’s logistics sector. Additionally, Future Group CFO Sanjay Jain discusses the huge retail market in India, its structure and numerous investment opportunities.

“When it comes to Indian buyers of TMT companies in the USA, the ongoing trade battle between the USA and China should open up acquisition opportunities.”
