Mergers and Acquisitions

This is what I read in 'THE ECONOMIST' about the new way of doing M&A deals.
The article said:
FOR some Japanese firms, acquiring another company may soon be a little like getting a pizza delivered. On September 1st, Strike, a Japanese consulting firm that advises on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), launched a new service to help clients put a price on potential deals. Strike promises a speedy response. It will deliver your calculation within a week, or you get it for half price. Clearly, the service is aimed at small firms and internet start-ups.
This is a complete changeover from the methods practiced till now on.
Moreover its good......for these companies donot have that much of monetary power to suffer the long process of the acquisition cycle.
But the million dollar question is

WHETHER THIS METHOD CAN BE APPLICABLE IN CASE OF INDIAN COMPANIES??
Watch this space??
