when I joined by push on mara partner
grant Thorton India and I'll feed to
take us to the entire
grandpa to India trucker deport for the
month of me
a profound thanks for joining in up if I
look at the report to the overall deal
I'll
more don't seem to have jumped up but
the deal body was followed by 37 percent
to
in me wanna your o'neill basis what is
the reason for that because you know the
beginning of the owner actually talking
about an uptick when it came to the
overall value
and we saw the average ticket size
increasing why has there been a sudden
fall in me
up so
so I think bout you know what you
mention is absolutely night but I think
it's better to look at
up the entire deal activity into buckets
which is and many and private equity and
I just elaborate died in a bit
us on the border in transaction that you
bought me 15 has been about 3.3 million
dollars across 115 transactions
and many in particular which is domestic
a mini
and inbound has been on a significant
slide however outbound activity has gone
up in value terms bad about
four times and in one room terms by
about 33 percent
a if you look at private equity that has
blocked about a 1.2 billion dollars
across 68 transactions
I in terms of growth as compared to male
14
that has been about tough 50 percent in
terms of book value and volume
soul and yes there has been a
significant decline in domestic a mini
particular the private equity activities
and to be used to be on dies and is
definitely has a very positive momentum
a commission to I do said domestic and
many have seen a decline the SB
investments are going up
could you do i do us both sectors on is
it then that the is likely to continue
that
we actually seen a decline when it comes
to domestic emini
at a time when there actually is a law
to buzz as far as the all that on
economic a little known as concerned
at yeah so i i don't think so this is
something which is a convenient and it's
probably a season which is common
go by weaker than it has come and under
the second as today
as far as the M&S concerned and his face
is concerned
Obama continues to be a dominant sector
without concluding 23 percent in value
done
a and retail and consumer which has been
in training sector in the last couple of
months and made a significant
contribution
this month with about 50 percent in
order to the values in a mini
on the other hand and I we could be
space up wat
I the ides and Farmar have contributed
about using the same heat in my new dams
but again financial services sector
which has been attending sector
in a the beast is going to bed at about
forty percent
up some the bioactivity continues to
have a positive momentum to it but
I mean a seems to be on a slide a and
the reason is perhaps that
wind as far as I P activities on there
is a little optimism
the macro level indicator is a look
positive a
as far as Amin is concern that seems to
be on a slight
primarily because other cochran
financially it is i sat out
there seemed to be no estimates done by
then she took a pic to continue to be in
the day
so what is lacking is the fact that that
is
lack of domestic acquisition finally a
im gonna
there was an update on the corporate
balance sheets there is no data
available for that position finding
valuations have increased and best we
have that get
on a quickie Bergeron they shot and I'm
domestic any easier decreasing but if
you look at the cross-border a mini it
seems to be fairly steady
is that a trend that cross-border will
continue to dominate him any activity
quickly oh yes absolutely I think Ross
born in a minute we'll
up by continue to dominate because a
who fought in assets ot G but that is
domestic goddess
acquisition finding a way to modify on
a6 which will continue to deny
online transactions artificial thank you
so much for joining in with that
analysis to
so that with the grand fortune deal
tracker report for the month of
