For all the advances in recent years, just how digitally mature and technologically sophisticated is the M&A, due diligence, and asset marketing process in Southeast Asia and India? How are dealmakers using technology to overcome challenges?

Moreover, what does the process look like today, and how might technology and accelerating digitization change the dealmaking process over the next 5 years?

These are some of the key questions we wanted to investigate and answer in this research, which involved surveying 156 Southeast Asia and India M&A practitioners from corporates, private equity firms, investment banks, law, and professional services firms.
