The Advisory business won new mandates and the Business Intelligence and Risk Solutions business increased its overseas client footprint. He further informed the shareholders that the Company further strengthened its sustainability credentials and launched a proprietary framework to score listed Indian companies on ESG performance. The Company led with a ‘people first’ approach and was at the forefront of pandemic relief in India. He added that CRISIL Foundation launched 419 centers in India under the Reserve Bank of India’s ‘MoneyWise Centre for Financial Literacy’ initiative. He also thanked the shareholders for their support over the years and CRISIL employees for their invaluable dedication and hard work.
