EXL offers insurance, banking, financial services, utilities, healthcare, travel, transportation and logistics services.[2] The company is headquartered in New York City with more than 27,000 professionals in locations throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America and South Africa.[3][4]

EXL was co-founded in 1999 by Vikram Talwar and Rohit Kapoor.[5]

Shortly before EXL's debut on NASDAQ, it started down the path of growth through acquisitions with the purchase of the peer company Inductis.[8] This acquisition was aimed at diversifying the revenue stream for EXL; prior to acquisition, 90% of EXL's revenues were from business process outsourcing (BPO), while after, BPO accounted for 70% with the balance in research and analytics and advisory services.[8]

In 2011, EXL expanded their delivery footprint in Eastern Europe and South East Asia through acquisition of OPI.[9]

In 2013, in reaction to the establishment of the Affordable Care Act and its mandate that all Americans acquire health insurance, EXL was reported to have planned a major run of acquisitions in the United States healthcare industry.[7] At the time of this report in 2013, EXL drew ~10% of its revenues from the healthcare industry.[7]

In 2014, EXL expanded into Latin America through a strategic joint venture with CT&S through which EXL's technology experience would be combined with CT&S's local knowledge and brand image.[3] This joint venture also supported the growing customer base of EXL for Spanish language services.[3]

As of 2016, EXL had more than 25,000 employees.
