Whether you are acquiring, merging or preparing to divest an Indian business, the outcome turns on the quality of diligence and the soundness of the structure. We give foreign companies a single coordinated team across financial, tax, legal and technical workstreams, with licensed work delivered through appropriate professionals where required.

Buy-side and sell-side support

Our mandate adapts to which side of the table you sit on. Buy-side work concentrates on discovering risk, validating earnings and building pricing leverage; sell-side work concentrates on readiness, presentation and pre-empting the questions a buyer will raise.

Indicative scope by mandate — tailored to your specific transaction.

Coordinated due diligence

We coordinate diligence as parallel workstreams and consolidate the findings into one decision-ready risk view. Each licensed stream is delivered through appropriate professionals where required:

  • Financial due diligence — earnings, working capital and balance-sheet quality
  • Tax due diligence — GST, TDS, income-tax and historical exposure
  • Legal due diligence coordination through legal professionals
  • Technical due diligence relevant to the business and assets

Valuation & transaction structuring

We bring diligence findings into valuation and structuring so that price, form and risk allocation rest on the same evidence base. For cross-border deals, FEMA/FDI considerations shape the structure from the outset.

  • Valuation, including business and share valuation
  • Transaction structuring — share, asset or slump-sale routes
  • FEMA / FDI considerations for cross-border transactions.
  • Consideration mechanics and risk allocation

Term sheet & documentation coordination

We review the term sheet so commercial intent is captured cleanly, and coordinate the definitive documentation with the legal team so that the agreements reflect the agreed structure, diligence findings and protections.

  • Term sheet review against commercial intent
  • Deal documentation coordination with legal professionals
  • Conditions, representations and indemnity alignment with diligence findings

Integration & reporting setup

After completion, we support integration and set up management reporting so the acquired business reports reliably from the first month under new ownership and is brought onto a clear finance and control framework.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you support both buyers and sellers?
Yes. We provide buy-side support for foreign acquirers evaluating an Indian target, and sell-side support where a foreign group is divesting an Indian business or preparing it for sale. The workstreams differ — buy-side focuses on risk discovery and pricing leverage, sell-side on readiness and credibility — and we tailor the mandate accordingly.
How is the due diligence coordinated across disciplines?
Financial, tax, legal and technical due diligence run as coordinated workstreams, each led by suitably licensed professionals where required. We consolidate findings into a single risk view so that valuation, structuring and documentation all reflect the same evidence base.
What does transaction structuring cover?
We advise on the form of the deal — share versus asset versus slump sale, consideration mechanics and FEMA/FDI considerations for cross-border transactions — and review the term sheet so the commercial intent is captured cleanly.
Do you help after the deal completes?
Yes. We support integration and set up management reporting after acquisition, so the acquired business reports reliably and is brought onto a clear control framework from the first month under new ownership.
