SMERA Gradings & Ratings, our subsidiary, which morphed from an initiative of the Ministry of Finance and RBI back in 2005, has built an enviable record of conducting 50,000 ratings.

Our economic research division helmed by a dynamic and formidable team of senior financial analysts, is widely regarded for its expert views and impact analysis on significant economic developments and outlook of various sectors.
