Roopa Kudva, 

This June, Crisil picked up British analytics firm Coalition. The buyout signals her ambition to convert Crisil into a fullfledged business intelligence service. Analytics is one of the hottest businesses today. Among other things, Coalition sells highend proprietary data analytics. When Kudva took over as MD in 2007, Crisil was a ratings company. Coalition signals an important transition for Crisil—to become a product company from one to which work is outsourced to.
