Post-acquisition integration

Engaged by a leading mid-market private equity fund to support post-acquisition value creation for a portfolio company in the industrial equipment manufacturing sector.


The target, located in Western India, generates annual revenues of approximately INR 2,500 crores and operates across multiple product verticals, catering to domestic and export markets.

Key sticking/ pain points:

  • Inadequate MIS systems, inconsistent monthly reporting, and delayed data impacting decision-making.
  • Lack of clear cost attribution at SKU or plant level.
  • Resistance to change or lack of buy-in from the founding/legacy team.
  • Heavy reliance on manual processes and outdated ERP systems.
