Acquisition motivated IPOs: the Indian evidence
by Sonia Garg; Ajay Garg
International Journal of Indian Culture and Business Management (IJICBM), Vol. 18, No. 3, 2019

Abstract: This paper attempts to study the takeover activities of newly public (IPO) Indian firms using a two-pronged approach. Firstly, it investigates the role of an IPO firm in the post IPO M&A market as a target and/or as a bidder. Secondly, it examines the acquisition activity of IPO firms around the IPO period. The results of this study point out that Indian IPO firms have a higher propensity to enter the post IPO M&A market as acquirers rather than targets. Further results indicate that the number of acquisitions made by IPO firms increase dramatically in the post IPO period across industries.
