Abstract
This paper traces the recent
explosive growth in overseas
acquisitions by Indian firms and
examines the primary reasons
driving this trend. In their quest to
become more globally competitive
and have a global presence, Indian
companies are engaging in
overseas acquisition to primarily
gain access to customers in new
geographical markets, to gain new
or advanced technologies or
products, and to acquire management
talent that has the mind-set
and skills to operate businesses in
more advanced or competitive
conditions. Data show that thus far,
Indian companies have also fared
reasonably well in their acquisitions,
both in terms of meeting
their acquisition objectives and
creating value for shareholders.
