This research constitutes an extensive exploration into the intricate landscape of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the Indian corporate sector, spanning a thorough analysis of 549 transactions executed between 2015 and 2024. A pivotal aspect of the study involves a sector-wise dissection of M&A undertakings, categorizing acquisitions across diverse industries such as primary sectors, manufacturing, services, finance and investments, technology, media and entertainment, trade and commerce, infrastructure, defence, and diversified domains. The analytical focus narrows down to a select subset of the acquisitions, namely the top 50, ultimately yielding a final sample of 38. The exclusions were predicated on factors such as incomplete data, cases involving complete takeovers, and instances deemed unviable. To decipher the complex dynamics at play, this research employs a multifaceted methodological approach. Regression analysis, T-tests, and sector-specific metrics constitute the primary tools leveraged to meticulously evaluate the pre- and post-acquisition performance of target companies. Key performance indicators under scrutiny include sales, EBITDA, and EPS, with a keen eye on discerning their nuanced impact on deal values. The study goes beyond mere quantitative analysis, delving into sector-specific metrics to unravel the sector-wise trends and intricacies shaping the outcomes of M&A transactions. This multifaceted examination promises to furnish valuable insights for a spectrum of stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, and corporate leaders, offering nuanced perspectives for navigating the dynamic contours of the Indian business landscape. In sum, this research not only contributes to the existing body of knowledge surrounding M&A dynamics but also provides a comprehensive understanding of sector-specific trends and driving forces. By scrutinizing the top acquisitions and employing rigorous analytical tools, this study strives to unravel the multifaceted nature of M&A activities in India, facilitating informed decision-making in the face of a dynamic and evolving business environment.
