Pankaj Karna, Partner,M&A at Grant Thornton India, said, ‘Downturn M&A should work if companies leverage on their core business strengths. The critical aspects in an M&A sustain and unlock the synergies for which an acquisition is undertaken. Some aspects, as you will notice, are simpler to achieve in down turns specially the integration piece and those internal to the firm’.
