ACQUISITION!!!

Is it a trend or a buzzword?

Read a recent post and one focal point hit me instantly. I first read about building a conglomerate from scratch in a fiction novel and thought about it as a fantasy [I was a kid by then - so obviously didn't understand business as I understood fiction].

As we knew more about industrialists, corporates, and business giants, the phenomenon became more practical.

Now with the trend getting shifted to Edtech acquisitions and the humming talks of Swiggy acquiring Dunzo, one thing instantly struck.

Can we say - everyone is trying to become a conglomerate?

With HUL, TATA, P&G, ITC, RIL, etc, as leaders in conglomeration, currently every cloud-based & internet company are bringing up this culture.

With solopreneurs hunting, multiple income streams, and corporates hunting acquisitions, one thing everyone is fighting for becomes Financial Independence & Clout.

Moreover, with the Privatisation of Indian roads and national assets, I believe the best is yet to come.

Thoughts?
