Strategic Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions in India: A Comparative Study

Author(s): Dr. Godishala Sravanthi

Abstract:

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As) have become a strategic cornerstone for Indian and multinational corporations aiming to achieve rapid growth, enhance market share, and gain a sustainable competitive edge. This study investigates the trends, motivations, impacts, and challenges associated with M&A activity within the Indian corporate landscape. A comparative case analysis of two major global players PepsiCo and Coca-Cola is undertaken to examine their M&A strategies, market entry approaches, and competitive behaviour in India. Furthermore, the study reviews significant M&A transactions across diverse sectors, evaluating their financial implications and alignment with corporate objectives. The regulatory environment-including the roles of SEBI, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), and FEMA-is also examined to understand the legal frameworks shaping such deals. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how M&As function as growth levers in the Indian economy and what strategic insights can be drawn for future corporate consolidations.
