Integration starts with respect – and structure
As project manager, Rohan Mahadik took the lead in integrating DM EDV. His first thought? “I had a lot of respect for the task ahead.” It was immediately clear that the integration would involve multiple challenges – technical, operational, and cultural.
“My top priority was to set up clear structures while keeping space for open exchange,” says Rohan. “Only then can two companies truly grow together.”
Technical complexity meets cultural sensitivity
One of the biggest hurdles was technical alignment: different systems, processes, and timelines had to be coordinated – without disrupting ongoing operations.
Equally important was the cultural side: building trust without imposing immediate change. The focus was on appreciating the strengths of both companies and using them as a foundation for a new, shared working culture. This mindset enabled a truly collaborative environment.
Communication builds bridges – from day one
How do you bring two teams together? For Rohan, the key was transparency, consistent dialogue, and mutual understanding. Early and open communication, joint onboarding sessions, and cross-functional working groups laid the foundation. Designated "bridge builders" on both sides helped reduce misunderstandings and build trust.
“People quickly realized this wasn’t about ‘us and them’, but about reaching a shared goal.”
The moment we became one team
“There was a project meeting later on where everyone naturally referred to things as ‘we’ – without thinking about who came from where. That was the moment I knew we’d truly become one team. It wasn’t dramatic – just genuine and real. That’s what true integration feels like.”
Integration means listening, trusting, co-creating
Rohan’s key takeaway: Integration is not a checklist. It’s about people coming together, relationships being built, and a shared identity being formed.
“I’ve learned to listen more, stay flexible, and value the power of small, meaningful actions. This project helped me grow professionally and personally.”
What others can learn from our integration
As a growth-driven company with a strong M&A focus, we know: every integration is unique. And yet, there are success factors that are universally relevant:
- Plan thoroughly – but stay flexible
- Don’t impose change – co-create it
- Prioritize transparency and open communication
- Build bridges – through people, not just processes
- Celebrate wins – even the small ones
Final thoughts: Integration is a shared journey
The integration of DM EDV into the myneva Group was filled with both challenges and opportunities. Today, both teams benefit from a shared foundation based on trust, openness, and collaboration.
At myneva, we don’t see integration as a project – we see it as a shared journey. For companies looking for a reliable M&A partner, that’s not just a promise – it’s what we live by.
