How AI is affecting this role
- ›Using Claude 3 to ingest a 200-page legal agreement and instantly extracting all 'material adverse change' clauses and cross-reference them with Indian Contract Act implications.
- ›Leveraging Excel Copilot to generate a working 3-statement financial model based on unstructured historical data inputs in under 5 minutes.
- ›Setting up an n8n agent that monitors SEBI filings and news sentiment for target companies, alerting the deal team instantly to material events that affect valuation.
Ways to survive
- ›Specialize in sectors requiring deep physical verification or government lobbying (e.g., Infrastructure, Defense), where AI has limited reach.
- ›Focus on deal origination and relationship management, as clients still buy from people, not bots.
- ›Master the regulatory landscape of Indian M&A to provide compliance assurance that AI cannot guarantee.
Ways to get ahead with AI
- ›Build a proprietary 'Deal Screening Agent' using n8n and OpenAI APIs that filters incoming CIMs based on strict investment criteria.
- ›Create dynamic pitch decks in PowerPoint that link to live AI-driven data sources, impressing clients with real-time market insights.
- ›Automate the 'Confidential Information Memorandum' (CIM) drafting process by feeding raw due diligence data into structured prompt templates.
