CRISIL added equity research to its wide canvas of work, by acquiring Irevna, a leading global equity research and analytics company.

Irevna, a division of CRISIL, provides high-end customised equity research and analytics, and knowledge process outsourcing, to the world's leading financial institutions, investment banks, private equity firms and consulting companies, helping them achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

Irevna offers investment research services to the world's leading investment banks and financial institutions. Founded in 2001, Irevna pioneered the 'outsourced research' concept, where the firm helps large financial institutions to carry out investment research, at a time when accepted wisdom did not consider this possible.
