US bound Acquisitions by Indian Companies.
Literature/Talks
The number of US-bound acquisitions by Indian companies increased by 73% over the previous year with more than 80 transactions in 2007. The trend has gone unaffected this year despite a global slowdown. The panel is intended to discuss the reasons why Indian companies are acquiring US-based companies, how they find such acquisition targets and how they structure these transactions. The panel will also discuss the pros and cons of doing transactions with India-based buyers, best practices, reverse due diligence and valuation. We look forward to a highly interactive discussion.
