Mergers and Acquisitions are in operation from time immemorial. M&A is not a new concept. Devas and Asuras entered into an alliance to bring out Amritham from Parkadal. Rama and Sukhreeva mutually helped each other to save their respective spouses from Ravana and Vaali. Lord Krishna tied up with Pandavaas to fulfill the motive behind his avatar. Vijay Television grew in leaps and bounds after it was acquired by Star Television Network. The takeover of OLA cabs by Taxi For Sure is expected to bring a huge revolution in the travelling sector. Business families come together by entering into wedlock. Jayashree of Nalli family got married to Ravi of Kumarans and now she has her own stores called Palam Silks. Roshan Narayanamoorthy of Infosys got married to Lakshmi Srinivasan of TVS. The list is endless. The post merger synergy is a major deciding factor in the entire process. This paper attempts to study the scope of M&A in the present day business scenario.
