Introduction to Corporate Restructuring and Its Triggers

An India-specific guide to why companies change their shape and how they do it, built for corporate finance and treasury professionals, growth-stage founders, and strategy and business development teams. Learn the four families of restructuring (portfolio, financial, organisational and operational) and the triggers behind each: conglomerate discounts, leverage and liquidity crunches, regulatory and tax changes, technology disruption, and promoter succession. Spot the early warning signs in financial statements, rating actions, auditor remarks and exchange filings. Then walk through the Indian toolkit: mergers, demergers, slump sales, buybacks and capital reduction, and debt restructuring from one-time settlements to the IBC, along with the Companies Act, NCLT and SEBI road map every listed deal must follow. Finish by weighing who wins and who loses, why restructurings fail, and a trigger-to-toolkit framework you can apply to your own company. Uses real NSE and BSE cases like the Tata Motors demerger, Vodafone Idea's debt-to-equity conversion, Essar Steel's insolvency resolution and ITC Hotels, with screener.in and exchange filings throughout.
