• Sales, Divestitures and Demergers
  With the opening up of the Indian economy, and the inflow of large multinational corporations, the businesses earlier protected by regulatory entry barriers are now faced with relentless open competition. This has led to a virtual shakeout in almost all industries propagated with the "survival of the fittest theory" the weaker players have either opted to close shop or sell out.
  Clients have used Bansal Neeraj & Associates' Corporate Finance practice for analyzing their future strategic direction and assistance in its implementation. Working with our clients we start with the strategy and consider the best options.
