The new environment poses challenges to the methods of operations practiced under the controlled economy. These challenges have compiled Indian business to rethink the ways in which they previously operated. With growth becoming central to the new economic environment, mergers and acquisitions are gaining acceptance as a mode of growth in India. This new environment demands more stringently, than the controlled economy did, that the business either perish or restructure through amalgamations and takeovers.Even with its high strategic value, M&A is both a critical as well as a highly risky issue. But if carried out well, these deals can help build your capabilities among the turmoil. According to a study by Grand Thornton and also KPMG, there was a plunge in the strategy of M&A. Grand Thornton concludes that a total of 227 deals worth $15.8 billion took place in the first half of 2015. And according to KPMG three-fourths of the acquisitions made by Indian firms have failed to create substantial value from the deals. In fact, 59 percent of the acquirers destroyed value within a year of closing a deal.Looking for the reason behind such failures, experts have realized this is solely because most of the organizations ignore the integration issue at the time of the beginning of the deal. Following which companies end up losing interest in the assets acquired post a transaction and end up not doing anything new which often affects the value of the acquirer. This is where consultants come into the picture, helping the companies to simplify the process and guarantee success within the organization. To help organizations identify the right M&A consultants, the current edition of Consultants Review brings to you the '25 Most Promising M&A Consultants'.
