We act as your dedicated strategic partners, assisting you in evaluating opportunities, conducting rigorous due diligence, structuring deals for maximum value, and ensuring a seamless post-transaction integration.9 Our primary objective is to mitigate risks and empower you to close deals that are not just financially sound but are fundamentally aligned with your long-term strategic vision.

Benefits of Our

Transaction Advisory

Service

Informed Decision-Making and Strategic Alignment
We provide deep, strategic insights into a target's financial health, operational efficiency, and future growth potential. Our comprehensive analysis ensures that every transaction aligns perfectly with your overarching business objectives, preventing costly strategic missteps and maximizing competitive advantage.
Comprehensive Risk Mitigation
Our multi-faceted due diligence process is meticulously designed to uncover hidden liabilities, undisclosed debts, contingent tax issues, and operational inefficiencies that could derail a deal or significantly erode its value. By identifying these critical risks early in the process, we empower you to negotiate more favorable terms and protect your investment from unforeseen challenges.
Accurate and Defensible Valuation
Determining a fair price is one of the most critical aspects of any transaction. We employ a range of globally accepted valuation methodologies to assess the target's true economic worth, ensuring you neither overpay in an acquisition nor undervalue in a sale. This provides a solid, defensible foundation for negotiation and deal structuring.
Optimized Deal Structuring
We provide expert advice on the most tax-efficient and legally sound deal structures, whether through share purchases, asset deals, or other complex mechanisms.9 Our deep expertise in the Indian tax and regulatory landscape (including FEMA, the Companies Act, and GST) ensures your transaction is structured to maximize value and maintain full compliance.
Seamless Post-Merger Integration
The ultimate success of a transaction is often determined after the deal is formally signed. We assist in planning and executing a smooth post-merger integration strategy, helping to align operations, cultures, and systems to realize anticipated synergies, retain key talent, and achieve the deal's intended strategic benefits.

Process

Step 1
Pre-Deal Strategy and Target Identification
Our engagement begins with a thorough understanding of your strategic goals. We assist in evaluating market options and screening potential targets or buyers to ensure an optimal business fit that can realize powerful post-acquisition synergies.
Step 2
Comprehensive Due Diligence
This is the cornerstone of our service, providing the analytical foundation for the entire transaction. Our team conducts an extensive investigation of the target company, covering: ✅ Financial Due Diligence: A deep dive into historical financials, quality of earnings (EBITDA), working capital requirements, net debt position, and revenue recognition models. ✅ Tax Due Diligence: A thorough identification of all potential tax liabilities, including historical income tax exposures, GST compliance gaps, and transfer pricing issues. ✅ Operational & IT Due Diligence: A detailed evaluation of the target's systems, supply chains, workforce dependencies, and digital infrastructure to identify operational risks and opportunities for synergy.
Step 3
Valuation and Financial Modeling
Based on our due diligence findings, we build sophisticated financial models and utilize multiple valuation techniques (such as Discounted Cash Flow and market multiples) to arrive at a fair and defensible value for the business. We also prepare crucial deal documents like Information Memorandums and Pitch Books to support the transaction process.
Step 4
Deal Structuring and Negotiation Support
We provide expert advice on structuring the transaction to maximize tax efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance. Our team actively supports you during negotiations, assisting with the critical review of legal documents like the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) to ensure that financial and commercial terms are robustly protected.
Step 5
Post-Transaction Support and Integration
After the deal closes, we provide dedicated support to ensure a smooth transition. This includes post-merger integration planning, purchase price allocation for financial reporting purposes, and monitoring the realization of synergies to ensure the deal delivers its expected long-term value.

Pre-requisites for Engagement
