Acquisitions

In August 2001, Conseco acquired EXL and operated it as a wholly owned subsidiary. In 2002, Oak Hill Capital Partners and FTVentures acquired the company from Conseco. [7] The company's stock started trading on the NASDAQ exchange on October 20, 2006, under the symbol EXLS. [7]

Shortly before EXL's debut on NASDAQ, it started down the path of growth through acquisitions with the purchase of the peer company Inductis. [9] 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. [9]

In 2011, EXL expanded their delivery footprint in Eastern Europe and South East Asia through acquisition of OPI. [10]

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. [8] At the time of this report in 2013, EXL drew roughly 10% of its revenues from the healthcare industry. [8]

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. [2] This joint venture also supported the growing customer base of EXL for Spanish-language services. [2]

In 2018, EXL acquired SCIOInspire Holdings, expanding its healthcare analytics capabilities. [11]

In 2021, EXL acquired Clairvoyant, adding scale in data, AI, and cloud engineering. [12]
