PANKHURI is a process that addresses all the major issues that arise during the merger process. It helps the merger managers understand the importance of a particular issue during a merger by rating the issue on the following scale:

• Not Critical (!): The issue is not a burning one in the short term.
• Critical (!!): The issue is sensitive either in the short term or long term, and managers should take care to handle it on time.
• Highly Critical (!!!): The issue is highly critical in both the short and long term, and management must address it urgently.

There are 4 domains into which a merger falls:

• Align domain mergers are horizontal mergers, where one company merges or acquires other companies, usually competitors, in the same industry.
• Associate domain mergers are vertical mergers, where one company merges or acquires other companies in the same industry, but at a different point in the supply chain.
• Alien domain mergers are diagonal mergers, where a company merges or acquires other companies in other domains and industries.
• Affiliated domain mergers are also called related mergers, where a company merges or acquires other companies in a related domain.
