Aqua Logistics Limited, one of India's leading logistics and supply chain management companies, was experiencing slowing demand in the business and was agonizing from poor fiscal management. The company had significant fiscal debt to banks as well as fiscal institutions.
In managing its businesses in a largely fragmented industry, owing to such difficulties, the firm - with its powerful network in multimodal transport and in the third-party logistics model of delivery - was an excellent goal for firms wanting to consolidate their status in the market. An acquiring firm, however, would wish to answer several questions.
What were the possible value drivers of Aqua Logistics Limited? From where would the synergistic gains be realized via an acquisition? How much should be offered for the acquisition?
