Orit Gadiesh, Chairman of Bain & Co., co-authors a piece in today’s ET after taking a look at Indian M&A deal book. He looks at it from three perspectives.
Deal size & volume - From Jan-Oct 2007, Indian companies closed outbound deals totaling $34 billion, exceeded China ($13 b) and Russia ($15b) combined. During 2003-07, the annual deal sizes grew at a CAGR of 108%.
Success rate – Too early to tell. But one-third seems to be a fair guess keeping in line with US and Europe.
Domestic M&A – Inbound deals by companies in India was only 8% of outbound deals, or $2.6 billion in the first ten months of 2007. Why so? a) lack of access to leveraged financing b) Firms are mostly family managed and are reluctant to sell.
Sounds good… But don’t make these mistakes.
