Key Messages
   While India’s growth will slow down in the short-term, it will emerge as
   one of the strongest economies in the world in the long-term.

   India’s favorable demographics and service-led economy creates long-
   term investment opportunities in several industry sectors.

   In order to realize its potential, India needs to continue improving its
   governance, control inflation, introduce credible fiscal policies, liberalize
   financial markets and increase trade with its neighbors.

The credit crisis is creating a global financial turmoil
   Liquidity drying up and frozen
   credit markets
       A massive “deleveraging effect”
       Re-pricing of risk
       Unwinding      of    structured   credit
       instruments

   Crisis of confidence in banking
   and savings
       Reversion to more solid notions of
       collaterals
       Bailouts of institutions considered “too
       big to fail” and the associated moral
       hazard

   Serious potential deflationary
   cycle in the US that could
   become a global contagion
       Novel regulatory regimes and a new
       paradigm for financial institutions

   capital post credit-crisis

Big challenges remain in the path to development

   India could be 40 times bigger by 2050.

   To achieve this, India needs to implement many changes.

   India needs to improve its governance, control inflation, introduce credible
   fiscal policy, liberalize financial markets and increase trade with its
   neighbors.

   It also needs to significantly raise its basic educational standards and
   increase the quality and quantity of its universities.

   India needs to boost agricultural productivity, improve its infrastructure and
   environmental quality.

Case- Study – Warburg’s investment in Bharti Telecom
    In early 1999, Warburg Pincus analyzed likely changes in India’s regulatory
    environment and tariff policies.

    After considerable due diligence conducted on three continents, Warburg Pincus
    identified significant opportunities in the Indian telecommunications sector and
    invested $300 million in Bharti.

    Warburg assisted Bharti with acquisitions of additional cellular properties and
    with securing a strategic partnership with Singapore Telecom, which subsequently
    committed $600 million in capital to Bharti.

    The company was listed on Indian stock exchanges in February 2002. Now known
    as Bharti Airtel, the company has a market capitalization in excess of $35 billion
    and is a dominant player in the Indian telecommunications market.

    Today, Bharti Airtel is structured into three individual strategic business units
    (SBU’s) - mobile services, telemedia services (ATS) & enterprise services. The
    mobile services group provides GSM mobile services across India in 23 telecom
    circles, while the ATS business group provides broadband & telephone services in
    94 cities

Due Diligence - The Bottom Line




                       Page 53
Doing Due Diligence US vs. India




                        Page 54
Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence
  1. Know the mindset of the target company

  Comprehensive information required for the due diligence process is not readily
  available with the Indian companies due to lack of detailed management information
  system. For example, detailed schedule of margins by product and by customer may
  not be easy to come by with these companies. The forecasting methodologies of such
  small and medium sized Indian companies are not very robust, often leading to
  simplistic projections. The forecasts tend to be aggressive, without a track record to
  boot.

  2. Understand key differences in doing a due diligence in western countries and
  in India

  Going in for a due diligence process with the right expectations is a critical success
  factor for US investors. The quality of financial statements, financial infrastructure
  and business and business process will be lower and less explicit than western
  investors are accustomed to. This results in the need to explore more risk areas and
  take more time for the due diligence.

Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence
  3. Listen for the word “N0'”:

  Asian culture is less direct in some respects. Western investors rarely hear their
  Indian counterparts say “no” even though they do not mean “yes''.

  4. Look out for Hidden Skeletons:

  Inadequate disclosures impede the ability to access critical information that might
  alter the investor's perception with regard to the value of the company, environment
  issues and aggressive tax positions among others.

  5. Evaluate Corporate Governance:

  Companies are slowly realizing the importance of corporate governance and some of
  the leading organizations are benchmarking to global standards. Some others are
  moving towards improvement.

  6. Keep an Eye on Related Party Transactions:

  As a hangover of the licensing raj, Indian businesses are generally structured as
  conglomerates or group businesses which create extensive related party transactions.

Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence
  7. Avoid Legal Minefields

  Weak corporate governance is compounded with tardy legal systems where dispute
  resolution often remains a distant goal.

  8. Communicate with Care

  In any transaction, communication must be handled with utmost care. Sensitivity to
  Indian culture with regard to dealing with the owners who are also the entrepreneurs
  of the company will help to make the venture more rewarding.

  9. Manage the Control Freaks

  It is often observed that founding members of a start-up will refuse to give up control
  and settle for a minority ownership stake (a common condition for many start-ups in
  exchange for Private Equity funding).

  10. Think Global, Act Local

  Firms with a presence in India have a distinct edge due to their wide networks of
  contacts and experience of the Indian business environment.

     US-bound Transactions 2006H1 – 2008H1
                                                                                                            Industry Breakdown of US-bound Transactions in 2008H1



                                                                                     Page 71
Summary of US-bound acquisitions by Indian companies
in 2008
   In the first half of 2008, Indian companies accounted for a total of 34 US-bound acquisitions
   with a cumulative transaction value of over $5.1 billion. This represents a 15% decrease in
   terms of volume and a 30% drop in value compared to the first half of 2007.

   Deals less than $100 million accounted for over 90% of the total transaction volume but only
   10% of the reported transaction value. Whereas, it was the opposite for deals greater than
   $1 billion in size, which comprised 10% of the total volume and 90% of the reported value.
   No transactions were reported in the $100 million to $1 billion range. This reflects the
   dichotomy facing Indian companies – well-capitalized large Indian companies are buying
   value assets for cheap while mid-size firms are adopting a cautious approach.

   Mega-size deals included Tata Chemicals acquisition of General Chemicals for $1 billion,
   GMR Energy’s purchase of 50% equity in Intergen for $1.1 billion and Sterlite Industries
   announced bid for Asarco valued at $2.6 billion.

   IT/ITES remains the most acquisitive industry capturing over 50% share of the total US-
   bound transactions by volume, followed by life sciences (10%), metals & mining (6%) and
   agriculture (6%). Other industries accounted for less than 3% each in terms of volume.

   Over 70% of the transactions involved acquisition of 100% stock for cash consideration.
   These transactions generally had an earn-out structure, where a portion of the deal value is
   paid on future milestones.

Cross border acquisition trends
    High debt-to-equity ratio and low earnings in the US is creating value-buying
    opportunities for Indian companies.

    Increasing competitive pressures, emerging global opportunities and the decline
    in overseas trade and investment barriers are encouraging Indian companies to
    seek acquisitions in the US.

    Need to gain scale in terms of size, product offerings and geography.

    Change from a cost-centric approach to a profit-margin focus.

    Need to climb up the value chain




                                    Page 73
US-bound acquisitions are propelled by several factors
    Large consumer markets, transparent business processes, robust legal
    environment, advanced technologies, skills and knowledge capital.

    As US markets tend to be mature and saturated, it often proves difficult
    for Indian companies to gain market share without acquisitions.

    Easy access to the world’s largest market and customer base through
    marketing and distribution channels of the acquired company.

    Increased competition within the domestic markets.

    The global slowdown has created opportunities to buy US-based
    companies at lower valuations.

    Acquisition of specific skills, knowledge and technology.

Case Study – Gitanjali’s acquisition of Samuels

 Gitanjali Gems Ltd., a DTC sightholder, is one of the largest integrated diamond and jewelry
 manufacturers and retailers in India. Its operations include sourcing of rough diamonds from
 primary and secondary source suppliers in the international market, cutting and polishing the
 rough diamonds for export to its international markets, and the sale of diamonds and other
 jewelry through Gitanjali's retail operations in India, as well as in international markets.

 Gitanjali’s objective of an acquisition in the US was:
  Global vertical integration to create higher margins
  Direct access to consumers in the US
  Find an ideal platform for future growth

 Samuels operates 97 retail jewelry stores in 18 states and also sells jewelry online. Measured
 by the number of retail locations, Samuels is the tenth largest specialty retailer of fine
 jewelry in the United States.

 Samuels’ acquisition was in line with Gitanjali's objective to conform to a vertically integrated
 model, one that benefits from all the efficiencies that are realized through control of the
 entire supply chain, inclusive of retail.

  • 44. Case- Study – Warburg’s investment in Bharti Telecom In early 1999, Warburg Pincus analyzed likely changes in India’s regulatory environment and tariff policies. After considerable due diligence conducted on three continents, Warburg Pincus identified significant opportunities in the Indian telecommunications sector and invested $300 million in Bharti. Warburg assisted Bharti with acquisitions of additional cellular properties and with securing a strategic partnership with Singapore Telecom, which subsequently committed $600 million in capital to Bharti. The company was listed on Indian stock exchanges in February 2002. Now known as Bharti Airtel, the company has a market capitalization in excess of $35 billion and is a dominant player in the Indian telecommunications market. Today, Bharti Airtel is structured into three individual strategic business units (SBU’s) - mobile services, telemedia services (ATS) & enterprise services. The mobile services group provides GSM mobile services across India in 23 telecom circles, while the ATS business group provides broadband & telephone services in 94 cities Page 43

  • 52. Indian telecom industry – negative macro factors in play in 1999 - 2001 Lack of regulatory clarity Economic viability of telecommunication projects Restriction on licenses Monthly fixed license fee to government No investor interest – No clarity on exit route Bharti had presence only in North India Page 51

  • 54. Due Diligence - The Bottom Line Page 53
  • 55. Doing Due Diligence US vs. India Page 54
  • 56. Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence 1. Know the mindset of the target company Comprehensive information required for the due diligence process is not readily available with the Indian companies due to lack of detailed management information system. For example, detailed schedule of margins by product and by customer may not be easy to come by with these companies. The forecasting methodologies of such small and medium sized Indian companies are not very robust, often leading to simplistic projections. The forecasts tend to be aggressive, without a track record to boot. 2. Understand key differences in doing a due diligence in western countries and in India Going in for a due diligence process with the right expectations is a critical success factor for US investors. The quality of financial statements, financial infrastructure and business and business process will be lower and less explicit than western investors are accustomed to. This results in the need to explore more risk areas and take more time for the due diligence. Page 55
  • 57. Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence 3. Listen for the word “N0'”: Asian culture is less direct in some respects. Western investors rarely hear their Indian counterparts say “no” even though they do not mean “yes''. 4. Look out for Hidden Skeletons: Inadequate disclosures impede the ability to access critical information that might alter the investor's perception with regard to the value of the company, environment issues and aggressive tax positions among others. 5. Evaluate Corporate Governance: Companies are slowly realizing the importance of corporate governance and some of the leading organizations are benchmarking to global standards. Some others are moving towards improvement. 6. Keep an Eye on Related Party Transactions: As a hangover of the licensing raj, Indian businesses are generally structured as conglomerates or group businesses which create extensive related party transactions. Page 56
  • 58. Ten Tips to Successful Due Diligence 7. Avoid Legal Minefields Weak corporate governance is compounded with tardy legal systems where dispute resolution often remains a distant goal. 8. Communicate with Care In any transaction, communication must be handled with utmost care. Sensitivity to Indian culture with regard to dealing with the owners who are also the entrepreneurs of the company will help to make the venture more rewarding. 9. Manage the Control Freaks It is often observed that founding members of a start-up will refuse to give up control and settle for a minority ownership stake (a common condition for many start-ups in exchange for Private Equity funding). 10. Think Global, Act Local Firms with a presence in India have a distinct edge due to their wide networks of contacts and experience of the Indian business environment. Page 57

  • 73. Summary of US-bound acquisitions by Indian companies in 2008 In the first half of 2008, Indian companies accounted for a total of 34 US-bound acquisitions with a cumulative transaction value of over $5.1 billion. This represents a 15% decrease in terms of volume and a 30% drop in value compared to the first half of 2007. Deals less than $100 million accounted for over 90% of the total transaction volume but only 10% of the reported transaction value. Whereas, it was the opposite for deals greater than $1 billion in size, which comprised 10% of the total volume and 90% of the reported value. No transactions were reported in the $100 million to $1 billion range. This reflects the dichotomy facing Indian companies – well-capitalized large Indian companies are buying value assets for cheap while mid-size firms are adopting a cautious approach. Mega-size deals included Tata Chemicals acquisition of General Chemicals for $1 billion, GMR Energy’s purchase of 50% equity in Intergen for $1.1 billion and Sterlite Industries announced bid for Asarco valued at $2.6 billion. IT/ITES remains the most acquisitive industry capturing over 50% share of the total US- bound transactions by volume, followed by life sciences (10%), metals & mining (6%) and agriculture (6%). Other industries accounted for less than 3% each in terms of volume. Over 70% of the transactions involved acquisition of 100% stock for cash consideration. These transactions generally had an earn-out structure, where a portion of the deal value is paid on future milestones. Page 72
  • 74. Cross border acquisition trends High debt-to-equity ratio and low earnings in the US is creating value-buying opportunities for Indian companies. Increasing competitive pressures, emerging global opportunities and the decline in overseas trade and investment barriers are encouraging Indian companies to seek acquisitions in the US. Need to gain scale in terms of size, product offerings and geography. Change from a cost-centric approach to a profit-margin focus. Need to climb up the value chain Page 73
  • 75. US-bound acquisitions are propelled by several factors Large consumer markets, transparent business processes, robust legal environment, advanced technologies, skills and knowledge capital. As US markets tend to be mature and saturated, it often proves difficult for Indian companies to gain market share without acquisitions. Easy access to the world’s largest market and customer base through marketing and distribution channels of the acquired company. Increased competition within the domestic markets. The global slowdown has created opportunities to buy US-based companies at lower valuations. Acquisition of specific skills, knowledge and technology. Page 74
  • 76. Case Study – Gitanjali’s acquisition of Samuels Gitanjali Gems Ltd., a DTC sightholder, is one of the largest integrated diamond and jewelry manufacturers and retailers in India. Its operations include sourcing of rough diamonds from primary and secondary source suppliers in the international market, cutting and polishing the rough diamonds for export to its international markets, and the sale of diamonds and other jewelry through Gitanjali's retail operations in India, as well as in international markets. Gitanjali’s objective of an acquisition in the US was: Global vertical integration to create higher margins Direct access to consumers in the US Find an ideal platform for future growth Samuels operates 97 retail jewelry stores in 18 states and also sells jewelry online. Measured by the number of retail locations, Samuels is the tenth largest specialty retailer of fine jewelry in the United States. Samuels’ acquisition was in line with Gitanjali's objective to conform to a vertically integrated model, one that benefits from all the efficiencies that are realized through control of the entire supply chain, inclusive of retail.
