→Investment-banking rivals must reassess positioning post-Mizuho-Avendus deal
Change

Implications
- → Investment banking firms in India must reassess deal competition dynamics — expanded Mizuho–Avendus platform increases pressure in M&A and capital markets mandates.
- → Corporate finance teams must evaluate counterparty options — broader global-local advisory integration may shift deal sourcing and execution preferences.
