Indian companies are significantly increasing outbound mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in 2025, with overseas deals now comprising over 25% of the total M&A market. This surge is fueled by strong company balance sheets, opportunities for valuation arbitrage, and the strategic necessity for digital transformation and faster market access. Acquisitions like Coforge's $2.35 billion purchase of US-based digital engineering firm Encora exemplify this trend, as firms buy niche global players for immediate access to new markets and technologies.
