Your day begins at 7 AM modelling a ₹2,500 crore acquisition of a logistics company — running DCF, comparable company, and precedent transaction analyses to support a fairness opinion. Afternoons are consumed by a Management Presentation rehearsal with the target company's promoters before their roadshow, and a late-evening red-line review of the Share Purchase Agreement with external counsel and the M&A partner.
