why it's a buying signal
Integration forces choices. Two CRMs become one, two payroll systems become one, and each choice is a buying decision.
Acquirers also bring their own vendors and standards to the company they bought.
where to find it in India

- NSE corporate filingsThe same disclosures for NSE-listed companies.
- Competition Commission of IndiaOrders on combinations notified to the CCI.
- Business newsDeal coverage, including private deals.
how long it stays useful
From the announcement through the first year of integration.
This is our working rule from running outbound, not a measured benchmark.
who should care
- integration and migration services
- software that consolidates systems
- HR, payroll and change management
false alarms to watch for
- Small stake purchases, which don't change how the company runs.
- Deals that are announced but not completed. Check for completion.
