Mergers in India

Exploiting Financial Synergies

Paramjeet Kaur

Mergers in India: Exploiting Financial Synergies, by Paramjeet Kaur, provides an in-depth analysis of mergers and acquisitions in India's pharmaceutical industry since the early 1990s, against the backdrop of restructuring in the Indian corporate sector.

The book examines the motivations behind corporate mergers and acquisitions, addressing two important questions: Why is a firm acquired, and why does a firm acquire another?

Using an innovative methodology, the study investigates the differences between acquired firms and acquiring firms, as well as the characteristics that distinguish firms participating in mergers and acquisitions from those that do not.

The analysis explores the efficiency and policy implications of corporate amalgamation, highlighting the significance of mergers and acquisitions within India's changing corporate environment.

The book also provides an appraisal of industrial and stock market reforms in India, examining concerns surrounding the need for a takeover market in the country.

Through its examination of corporate restructuring, financial synergies, and regulatory reforms, the publication contributes to understanding mergers and acquisitions in the Indian pharmaceutical industry.
