EXL is a data and artificial intelligence company that runs analytics, AI engineering and digital operations for large enterprises. Vikram Talwar and Rohit Kapoor founded it in April 1999, it listed on Nasdaq in 2006, and it's headquartered at 320 Park Avenue in New York. The company works across insurance, healthcare and life sciences, banking and capital markets, retail and consumer products, energy and infrastructure, communications and media, and business and technology services. Its own site describes a team of 60,000+ professionals across six continents and more than 50 global delivery centers, including roughly 1,500 data scientists.
India is where the bulk of EXL's delivery sits. The Indian operating entity is EXL Service.com (India) Private Limited, incorporated on 21 May 1999 with CIN U72200DL1999PTC099888 and a registered office in New Delhi. Delivery and analytics centers run out of Noida, Gurugram, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai and Kochi, and hiring volume on LinkedIn is heaviest in Noida. In June 2026 EXL expanded its Chennai office by 265 seats to roughly 550 in total, aimed at healthcare and payment integrity work built on AI, advanced analytics and data science.
Financially, EXL reported revenue of about $2.09 billion for fiscal 2025, up roughly 13.6% year over year, with a market capitalisation around $4.1 billion. Rohit Kapoor is co-founder, chairman and CEO, and Maurizio Nicolelli is executive vice president and CFO. The company keeps buying its way deeper into AI: in June 2026 it agreed to acquire iMerit, an AI model training and evaluation firm, for up to $310 million. Leadership has been reshaped too, with Bhupender Singh joining in May 2026 as president and head of international growth markets and Bina Mehta added to the board in July 2026.

Practise real EXL questions on case estimation, SQL and puzzles, then get instant feedback on your answers.
Q: Estimate the amount of rice exported to Afghanistan by India in one fiscal year.
A: This is a market sizing question, so the interviewer wants your structure, not a number they can look up. Build from Afghanistan's population and per person rice consumption, subtract domestic production, then take India's share of the remaining import demand.
Q: Guess the number of people who travel by metro every day in Lucknow.
A: Another estimation prompt. Work from the city's population, narrow to people living near a metro corridor, apply an adoption rate, and double the riders to count return trips.
Q: You have a full bucket containing 24 liters of liquid. You also have three empty buckets: one of 5 liters, one of 11 liters, and one of 13 liters. How could you divide the 24 liters of liquid into three equal parts, so that you have three buckets containing 8 liters each?
A: A classic pouring puzzle. Talk through the state after each pour instead of jumping to the answer, because the interviewer is watching how you search a space of moves.
Q: What's the probability of getting all heads when we toss three unbiased coins?
A: Each toss is independent with probability 1/2 of heads, so all three heads is 1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2, which is 1/8 or 12.5%.
