Boston-based Verisk Analytics is a leading provider of catastrophe risk modeling solutions, which help individuals, businesses, and society become more resilient. Several organizations rely on its advanced science, software, and consulting services. In the most recent announcement, Verisk laid out its plans of acquiring India-based Fintellix. Both the companies have however failed to furnish the financial details for the agreement.

Both Argus and Verisk will realize a value addition because of integrating Fintellix’s advanced data management platform, along with its regulatory reporting expertise.
The acquisition will enable the organization in delivering better services and highly advanced solutions to its customers. Moreover, with this move, Verisk plans to expand and strengthen its foothold in India. Furthermore, this move will establish Verisk’s expertise in the field of data solutions across several geographies around the globe.
