Valuation — Merger / Acquisition

Credible, defensible valuation for every deal.

About Valuation — Merger / Acquisition

Valuation is the foundation of any merger, acquisition, fund-raise or share transaction — it determines the price at which shares change hands and must stand up to the scrutiny of investors, tax authorities and the RBI. Depending on the purpose, valuation may be required under the Income Tax Act, FEMA, or the Companies Act, using accepted methods such as Discounted Cash Flow, Net Asset Value or the market-multiples approach. Getting it right protects all parties, supports fair deal terms, and ensures regulatory compliance for share issues to foreign or domestic investors. We provide independent, well-documented business valuations that are analytically sound and defensible before every relevant authority.
