While diversification can be seen as a growth lever for ambitious mid-cap companies, its outcomes vary widely. YCP’s latest white paper, “Unlocking Value Through Strategic Diversification: Insights from Indian Mid-Cap Firms,” tracks the performance of 25 companies to explore which factors drive success, and which can lead to pitfalls. The report provides lessons on risk management, resilience, and execution, showing how diversification can either create lasting value or erode it.
Drawing on 15 years of economic growth in India, the white paper examines how and where diversification was executed across firms. It maps four key archetypes and benchmarks company growth against India’s GDP over three economic periods: 2010–2015, 2015–2020, and 2020–2025. Combined with detailed case studies, this report highlights why some companies built long-term resilience and value, outperforming their environment and navigating economic downturns effectively, while others fell short. YCP’s proprietary EIS Trigger and SORIM Execution frameworks build on these findings, offering a roadmap for execution with discipline.
- Four diversification archetypes: A breakdown of horizontal, vertical, concentric, and conglomerate moves, providing guidance for growth.
- Growth trajectory patterns: Insights into how firms that pursued strategic and synergistic diversification outperformed those that followed solely opportunistic or fragmented approaches.
- Dual-structured framework: How YCP’s proprietary EIS Trigger Framework and SORIM Execution Model can help companies identify when and where to diversify, providing the tools for sound diagnosis and rigorous planning.
