Credit Rating and Information Services of India Ltd. (CRISIL) is India’s leading Ratings, Research, Risk and Policy Advisory Company. CRISIL’s majority shareholder is Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies and the world’s foremost provider of financial market intelligence.

CRISIL started it’s operations in 1987 as a credit rating agency, at a time when lending rates in India were fixed, and there was, therefore, little demand for credit ratings. The company firmly established itself as the country’s leading rating agency, respected for their fiercely independent, highly credible, and analytically rigorous views.

India’s transformation into a market-led economy greatly increased its need for capital, and required extensive reforms and institution building. Accordingly, CRISIL diversified into the infrastructure advisory and business research domains, and quickly built up a reputation for independent, reliable and incisive information, research, models and advisory services. Today, CRISIL’s services are key inputs in informed decision-making and the shaping of public policy in India.

With increasing globalisation, the company focused on making it’s income streams more global by acquiring Gas Strategies Group Limited (earlier known as EconoMatters Limited), a London-based company engaged in gas consulting, information and training/conferences. CRISIL also acquired Irevna, a pioneer in the investment research outsourcing space; Irevna has since been voted No.1 in high end investment research and analytics outsourcing by the US-based Brown and Wilson Group two years in a row in 2006 and 2007.

CRISIL offers domestic and international customers a unique combination of local insights and global perspectives, delivering independent information, opinions and solutions that help them make better informed business and investment decisions, improve the efficiency of markets and market practices, and help shape infrastructure policy and projects. Its integrated range of capabilities includes credit ratings and risk assessment; energy, infrastructure and corporate advisory; research on India’s economy, industries and companies; global equity research; fund services; and risk management.
