Aranca Strengthens its Marketing and Sales Team; Adds a Veteran in IRC 409A Valuation to the Team
New York: June 29, 2010 - Aranca, a global provider of end-to-end financial and business research, valuation and intellectual property research services, has recently strengthened its marketing and sales team by adding Lisa Davis, a veteran with over 25 years of experience to its marketing and sales team.
Lisa has joined as the Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Strategic Alliances and will work with private company valuation and other research practices at Aranca.
Prior to joining Aranca, Lisa founded two professional services firms, the second of which was a valuation firm acquired by SVB Analytics where she joined as Managing Director in 2007. Overseeing sales, she took SVB Analytics from less than 50 clients to more than 1100. In the past, as a senior executive in the high tech and professional services sectors, she has led many national as well as international sales, marketing and business development organizations both in the US and in Europe.
"Having done over 700 valuations, we knew that we had strong delivery capabilities with refined processes and a team comprising CFA charter holders, CAs, MBAs and finance graduates from premier business schools in India and abroad. With Lisa on board, I believe we will scale greater heights in our business," said Hemendra Aran, CEO, Aranca.
Talking about why she chose to join Aranca after having discussions with more than a dozen valuation firms, Lisa said, "Aranca embodies the entrepreneurial spirit and the creative vision for what it means to be a dynamic and effective professional services firm. There is not valuation firm focused on providing 409A valuations that I know of that has a better level of quality while offering a cost effective solution for CFOs."
"Aranca’s experienced team provides a detailed and robust analysis which has been accepted by the top tier accounting firms. What Aranca brings to the client relationship is a level of value that goes well beyond the 409A valuation deliverable. The caliber of the team is extremely impressive and their insight and experience in having delivered over 2,000 Business, Investment and IP research projects gives them a unique perspective which drives immediate value to the client community. Besides, Aranca’s unique multidisciplinary approach in valuation due to its strong investment research, business research and intellectual property research capabilities provide for solid and defensible valuations," said Lisa.

ARANCA Appointed Exclusive Research Partner by Econique for M&A Masters Global Conference 2010
London: January 27, 2010: Aranca, a global provider of customized financial and business research, valuation services and IP research, was the Exclusive Research Partner by Econique for M&A Masters Global Conference 2010. Held during January 25-26, 2010, in Old Windsor, Berkshire, United Kingdom, the M&A Masters Global 2010 addressed a range of M&A subjects such as post merger integration, financial structures, benchmarking the M&A processes, emerging market specifics and so on.
Even though the current economic downturn has severely impacted the valuations, a lot of companies are unsure of how to react. Buyers are grappling with “Is this the best time to buy?” kind of questions. On the other hand, companies wanting to divest non-core business to consolidate are worried about the kind of valuations their hive-offs could fetch. In this backdrop, the participants of M&A Masters Global Conference 2010 spent two intense days listening to select cutting-edge case studies provided by globally active companies and interacting with M&A experts.
As the exclusive research partner, Aranca made a presentation on “Global M&A in Changing Times.” Amith Karan, Director, Business Development & Strategy, Aranca, talked about how the M&A activity progressed during 2003-07 before the liquidity-fueled buying frenzy took over, and what contributed to sudden drop in the deals in 2008, and how the future is likely to pan out. “Taking stock in January 2010 about how the M&A activity made modest recovery in 2009 and what lies ahead, was the best way to start,” said Karan.
While talking about the event, Hemendra Aran, CEO, Aranca said, “We have had great experience working Econique in the past. Having done significant amount of work in the M&A space by supporting leading investment banks, M&A consulting firms and banks in terms of preparing competitive landscape, business and IP valuation, building pitch books and so on, we seek to add value to such events.”
The M&A Masters event was attended by decision makers and opinion leaders of global companies active in M&A, Corporate Strategy, Business Development, Finance, Law, Post Merger Integration, Project Management and Risk Management from all over the world.

Aranca Independent Research Provider Survey 2009 finds the impact of Global Research Settlement of 2003 dissappointing
Though twin blows of GRS expiry and the turmoil in global financial markets point to an uncertain future for IRPs, diversifying revenue streams and catering to buy-side demand would be key to IRPs’ future prospects
London: January 6 2010: Aranca, a leading global provider of on-demand custom investment and business research services, has recently released the findings from its global survey on the impact of Global Research Settlement (GRS) expiry on Independent Research Providers (IRPs). Enforced in 2003, the $1.4 billion worth GRS expired on July 31, 2009 leaving scores of IRPs with no regulatory safety net to push independent research. Coming in the midst of a global financial crisis and recession, the GRS expiry has raised the stakes for IRPs in terms of survival.
Through an extensive online survey hosted on the Aranca website, Aranca sought to find out the views of leading IRPs on the road ahead for the industry. Titled “The Road Ahead: Life after the Global Research Settlement Expiry,” the survey tried to find answers for some key questions including:
- How will the GRS expiry alter the IRP industry landscape?
- What are the key challenges faced by the IRP industry post GRS expiry?
- Which are the potential services or segments that would help the IRP industry sustain and diversify service offerings?
- Will the Chinese Walls survive in the post GRS era?
- What is the road ahead for the IRP industry?
Even after five years of GRS regime, there are a few who think that GRS has been largely successful in creating and maintaining Chinese walls between investment arms and research departments, while several others believe that the GRS has been an complete disappointment. Several IRPs braced themselves to face the impact of GRS expiry by putting in place measures for developing alternative revenue sources, dealing with changing industry dynamics and building their capabilities.
Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Director, Aranca India Operations said, “While we knew that the IRP landscape is set to alter post GRS expiry, what surprised us were the diversity of opinions on emerging business models and IRP industry's efforts to gather new skills and remain firm in the face of adversity.”
Among the key findings of the Aranca IRP Survey 2009, are:
- The GRS expiry will continue to hurt the IRPs in the short term, as the industry will experience pressure on revenues.
- Highly fragmented IRP industry is ripe for consolidation, and global financial market uncertainties may hasten that process
- Clients will demand independent research solutions that are not limited to the standard confines of valuations and research notes, but are innovative and exclusive
- IRPs that stay ahead on capabilities, are open to new strategies of building and augmenting product basket, exploring newer avenues for both revenue generation as well as cost-savings, will thrive.

World-class Skill Development Programme is a Positive Initiative
Mumbai: February 29, 2008 - Aranca, a global provider of end-to-end financial and business research services, believes that the Union Budget of India 2008-09 presented today is populist but inclusive budget, given the prospect of general elections in mid 2009. The increase in the income tax exemption limits, loan waivers for farmers and higher provisions for social expenditure all point out to a feel-good budget. Buoyant tax receipts gave the freedom to the Finance Minister to increase social spending while reducing the budgeted fiscal deficit targets.
In an interesting initiative, the Finance Minister has allocated a budget of Rs. 15,000 crore for creating a non-profit corporation aimed at creating world-class skill development programme in India. When compared with a total outlay for the education sector (including NER) of Rs.34,400 crore for 2008-09, this is significant. While the details on the actual contours of this initiative and the charter for the corporation are still unknown, this programme seems promising especially for talent-starved knowledge-driven companies and research companies.
"With nearly 225 million people in the age group of 10 -19 years, most of whom are likely to join the active work force in next 3-5 years, the need for providing skills other than pedagogical cannot be emphasized more," said Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Director, Aranca India Operations. "If we want to benefit from the $12 billion knowledge process outsourcing opportunity, then we need to have a nation-wide programme focusing on skill development that turns graduates and post-graduates into employable resources for world-class research work," he said.

ARANCA featured in KPMG's Knowledge Process Outsourcing: Unlocking top-line growth by outsourcing "the core" 2008 study
Mumbai: February 18, 2008 - Aranca, a global provider of end-to-end financial and business research services, was featured in 'KPMG's Knowledge Process Outsourcing: Unlocking top-line growth by outsourcing "the core" 2008 study. The KMPG report studies the KPO phenomenon to understand and predict financial research outsourcing trends. It estimates that the financial services knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) industry will be worth US$5 billion by 2010. One of the few comprehensive reports on the KPO sector, the study conclusively states that KPOs enable client-organizations increase their revenues. Cost savings and access to talented workforce are the key factors driving offshoring of high-end knowledge-based processes. In the financial research industry, KPO providers are already supplementing and supporting "core" organizational functions. While India remains the dominant outsourcing destination, countries like Australia, Canada and Singapore have the potential to capture some of these KPO opportunities. The need to preserve and increase competitive edge will accelerate outsourcing decision-making, the report states.
"Being profiled as one of the leading KPO providers in the study is a recognition of Aranca's growing market presence in key markets and sectors," said Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Director, Aranca India Operations. Established in 2003, Aranca has a strong client base in UK, Europe and USA. Commenting on the KPMG report, Mr. Rajagopalan said, "As one of the leading providers of high-end, outsourced financial research, we at Aranca feel that there is insufficient literature on the KPO phenomenon. A global study of this magnitude and depth will help decision-makers understand, evaluate and plan their outsourcing strategy." He added that "There is a need for more such concentrated effort to document findings of the KPO industry, as it informs and empowers both parties concerned - organizations looking to outsource and KPO providers".

ARANCA among top 6 offshore financial research service providers: Invest Australia Report
Mumbai, January 13, 2006 - Aranca, the Mumbai-based, end-to-end business research provider has been named as one of the top 6 Third-Party Analytics service providers in the "Financial Services KPO industry report" commissioned by Invest Australia, the Australian Government's inward investment agency.
Announcing this development to the media, Mr. Hemendra Aran, CEO-Aranca, said "Of the 19 players that Invest Australia has started off at the beginning of the study, Aranca made to the final list of six providers. It is indeed a major achievement considering Aranca is one of the youngest as well as smallest (in terms of employees) companies in the list."
It may be worth mentioning that this is the first time anywhere in the world that a consulting firm globally has carried out a substantive analysis of the analytics-driven Financial Services KPO sector and sub-sectors. The offshoring or outsourcing (or both) of equity research and some corporate finance functions by investment banks and securities firms is the most established area of the global analytics offshoring industry.
The Invest Australia Report findings will further enhance India's fast gaining reputation as the KPO hub. This is especially good for a young company like Aranca to be featured in the high profile report as it was pitted against some of the big names in the financial research services. Established in 2003, Aranca is in the business of providing end-to-end equity and investment research analytics with Mumbai as its delivery centre. It has offices in New York and London.
"Our unique blend of market knowledge, high quality resources, flexible deployment models, quality assurance standards and cost-efficient offshore have earned us this distinction", opined Mr. Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Head, Aranca India Operations.
Some of the areas that were minutely studied by Invest Australian include:
- Product updates and maintenance: updating of company models for company and sector update reports and updating of valuation models on an on-going basis.
- Support for 'stand alone' thematic reports: preparation of industry studies or cross-industry studies covering topical issues.
- M&A stand alone valuation models: creation and support involved in stand alone valuation models for M&A deals.
- Report and presentation support: preparation of reports, presentation graphics, chart preparation for use in presentations to institutional investors and pitch book type material to corporate clients.

PIRP Market to Reach USD 26.9 Mn by 09 - Aranca
New York, September 1, 2005 (Aranca) - The Paid-For Research market in the US is expected to grow to USD 26.9 million by 2009, according to a new Aranca study. Paid-For Research Providers or PIRPs are research providers who produce and publish equity research at the behest of a company, with the intention of attracting potential investors.
Companies that are under-covered or do not enjoy any coverage opt for such research services. These small and micro cap companies - typically listed on Nasdaq, OTC and other exchanges. Aranca found a positive correlation between improved coverage of a company and its stock price. "One of the key negative fallouts of the Global Settlement has been the loss of coverage for a host of small cap companies, thus depriving the investors genuine growth opportunities. PIRPs are an interesting way out for companies that seek more action on their counters," said Hemendra Aran, CEO, Aranca.
The report provides estimates of the current market size besides profiling the leading players. It also analyzes market drivers, key trends, and provides market forecast up to 2009. In addition, the report highlights key regulatory and other compliance related matters.
The report is useful for both PIRPs as well as the companies.
