A Crisil press release said here that it signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday to acquire 100 per cent equity shares in Irevna, an equity research and analytics specialist. Crisil will immediately pay 60 per cent of the consideration in cash and the rest at the end of a year, the release said.

It quoted Mr R. Ravimohan, Managing Director, Crisil, as saying, "We are excited about the acquisition as it provides a fillip to Crisil's global equity research business aspirations and strengthens our service offerings.
