Corporate Debt Restructuring and Bankruptcy is a practical, scenario-based course that equips you with the tools to analyze distressed firms, implement restructuring strategies, and perform valuation in bankruptcy situations.
You will explore the complete restructuring lifecycle—from the strategic rationale behind mergers and demergers to modeling distressed cash flows and navigating bankruptcy laws. With rich case studies, GAAP vs. market-based balance sheet simulations, and advanced valuation models, this course mirrors the real-world challenges faced by equity analysts, investment bankers, and restructuring consultants.
Section 1: Introduction
This section introduces the fundamentals of corporate restructuring, providing clarity on when and why companies pursue it. You’ll explore the lifecycle of restructuring decisions, understand strategic triggers, and assess how distressed scenarios lead to either value destruction or value transformation.

Dive into the different forms of restructuring: mergers (horizontal, concentric), amalgamations, joint ventures, demergers, equity carve-outs, divestitures, and capital reduction. You'll learn the motivations behind each move and how these decisions reflect broader strategic and financial goals. This section also includes insights into sector-specific models like power sector restructuring.
