Crisil launches i360, a unified, GenAI-led research, data and analytics platform

MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Crisil today rolled out i360, a unified intelligence platform that offers the full repertoire of its institutional knowledge capital to enable clients to take decisions with confidence.

Powered by advanced generative AI, Crisil i360 delivers vital, actionable intelligence instantly.

Built by India’s largest independent research team, i360 brings together the full suite of capabilities comprising Cutting Edge, Quantix, Navigator and Crisil’s new impact-analytics engine ForeSight—all on one seamless interface.

The result is the largest and widest institutional coverage ever offered on a single platform:

• Market intelligence garnered from about 1,000 industry sources, a third of which are primary sources

• Over 60,000 companies with complete profiles and 20 lakh companies with base coverage 

• ~7,000 credit rating reports for Crisil-rated entities and instrument-wise lender details across all rating agencies

• Deep industry analytics across 85+ sectors with cost dynamics, competitive intensity, demand-supply outlook, price trends, and investments assessment

• Capex database tracking 5,000+ projects across infrastructure and industrial segments

With powerful new capabilities, i360 offers a seamless macro-to-micro view across the economy, industries, companies, and projects, enhanced with Generative AI, advanced analytical tools and interactive dashboards. For instance, users can access cross-sectoral insights and analysis without manually searching for multiple reports or documents. Additionally, AI-powered summarisation helps users extract sector briefs in user-defined formats. 

Says Priti Arora, President and Business Head, Crisil Intelligence, “i360 is a significant milestone in our digital transformation journey. The platform builds on our robust, nearly four decades of institutional intelligence and expertise in research and data. It offers extensive data coverage, simplifies content discovery and yields actionable cross-sectoral insights. This will help clients achieve information fluidity and enhance the confidence of clients when making mission-critical decisions . Financial institutions, corporates, investors and policymakers alike can benefit from this integrated tool.”

In addition to enhancing data coverage and frequency of research reports, and enabling client specific-interactive dashboards, the portal offers access to several unique features.

Says Miren Lodha, Senior Director, Crisil Intelligence, “As a single source of intelligence, i360 allows clients easy access to Crisil’s proprietary products such as Sector Performance Grid that highlights opportunity and risk positioning of key sectors of the economy; the newly introduced Foresight, which links real-time shifts in macro and industry variables to company-level impact; and Company Scorecard, which benchmarks the financials of a company against the entire universe of companies or a customised peer set.”

Custom dashboards, drag-and-drop data selection, cross-module access, powerful search capabilities and an intuitive, visually enhanced interface further ensure a seamless experience for the user.

Notably, i360 guarantees data quality and accuracy through a comprehensive data–ingestion framework and stringent quality–control procedures. Robust governance, rigorous validation processes, and continuous human oversight to ensure every step is performed correctly. This approach aligns with Crisil’s core values—integrity, excellence, partnership and discovery.
