  1. What’s missing from this article is the dollar total of these mergers and acquisitions. For instance, how many companies and for how much money were Indianapolis-based companies acquired for? How much did our local companies spend to acquire companies based in other states? And overall, how does Indianapolis rank compared ro other cities?
