- Seller motivations vary widely in India—from family-run exits to tech-driven partnerships—making strategic alignment essential but challenging for buyers.
- YCP facilitates clear alignment by conducting nuanced stakeholder analyses, helping bridge expectations and supporting successful deal negotiations.
Maximizing Value with Limited Market Transparency
- Incomplete disclosure and inconsistent financial reporting often cloud deal valuations, raising concerns about hidden liabilities and fair pricing in India.

"YCP’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of YCP's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far. "
