Who We Serve
We address a rich and globally-diversified client base. Within India our customers range from small enterprises to the largest corporations and financial institutions; outside India our customers include the world's largest banks and leading corporations. We also work with governments and policy-makers in India and other emerging markets in the infrastructure domain.

How We Add Value
We empower our customers, and the markets at large, with independent analysis, benchmarks and tools. These help lenders and borrowers, issuers and investors, regulators, and market intermediaries make better-informed investment and business decisions. Our offerings allow markets and market participants to become more transparent and efficient - by mitigating and managing risk, taking pricing decisions, generating more revenue, reducing time to market and enhancing returns. By helping shape public policy on infrastructure in emerging markets, we catalyse economic growth and development in these countries.

Our People
We carefully nurture a fungible talent pool that can rotate seamlessly across businesses, providing the domain expertise and cultural cement that holds our many businesses together. We are able to provide business leadership opportunities to an increasing number of our talented employees because of our rapidly-growing businesses, range of services, and geographical footprint. Our people remain the factor that makes the totality of the CRISIL group far more valuable than the sum of its parts.
