Global and Indian M&A Landscape The book offers insights into the global evolution of M&A activities since the 1980s, while also detailing the trajectory of Indian M&A from post-liberalization in the 1990s to the present.

In-depth Analysis of Synergies and Valuations The book covers various types of synergies (financial, technological, geographical, etc.) and valuation approaches (DCF, multiples, DDM), enabling readers to comprehend how value is identified and measured in deals.

Risks, Biases, and Post-Merger Performance It explores common myths and biases that impact M&A decisions, methods for risk assessment (both financial and non-financial), and how to objectively evaluate the success or failure of a deal post-integration.

Contemporary Issues and Future Outlook Emerging themes such as ESG considerations, climate risk, communication strategies, and the evolving future of M&A processes are covered, offering a comprehensive and forward-looking perspective.
