IRIS Business Services Limited

What IRIS Business Services Limited does

IRIS RegTech Solutions Limited (formerly IRIS Business Services Limited), founded in 1994 and headquartered in Navi Mumbai, India, is a publicly listed RegTech SaaS company on Indian exchanges (NSE: IRIS) that provides XBRL and iXBRL-based software for regulatory compliance, financial reporting, ESG disclosure, and tax technology. The company serves two primary customer segments — enterprises that need to file structured regulatory disclosures and the regulators (30+) that consume those filings — alongside financial data analytics buyers and financial institutions, with a combined base of 6,000+ enterprises and 1.5M+ filings processed globally. Its product portfolio is anchored on the IRIS CARBON platform (XBRL/iXBRL reporting, disclosure management, ESG reporting) and extended through sub-brands including IRIS GST (tax technology, now divested), IRIS iFILE (regulator-side filings), IRIS iConnect (XBRL analytics), IRIS IDEAL (financial institutions), and IRIS INSTANT 2.0 (AI-assisted MBRS filing in Malaysia).

The company generates revenue primarily through subscription SaaS contracts and multi-year platform licensing for IRIS Carbon and related modules, with pricing negotiated per enterprise rather than publicly disclosed. It operates a sales-led go-to-market motion through wholly-owned subsidiaries in the USA, Singapore, Italy, and Malaysia, supplemented by strategic channel partners (e.g., MZ Consult in Brazil). Active membership in XBRL International, XBRL US, XBRL Europe, and XBRL South Africa provides jurisdictional influence and standards expertise that competitors without equivalent track record struggle to match. The most recent strategic phase has involved the November 2025 corporate rebranding, the divestiture of the Taxtech business to refocus on SaaS/Suptech/Regtech, and a Brazil ESG mandate through MZ Consult scheduled for FY27 execution.
