Retirement of Som Mittal
On March 1, 2024, Som Mittal, a member of the
Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ExlService Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), notified the Board that he has
decided not to stand for re-election at the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), at
which time he will resign from the Board and the committees on which he currently serves. Mr. Mittal’s decision not to stand for
re-election at the Annual Meeting did not arise from any disagreement with the Company, the Company’s management or the Board on
any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Election of Thomas Bartlett as Director
On and effective as of March 6, 2024, on recommendation
of the Nominating and Governance Committee (“NGC”) of the Board, the Board has expanded the size of the Board from eight directors
to nine directors and elected Thomas Bartlett to fill the new director position, to serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified
or his earlier death, disability, resignation or removal. Concurrent with his election as director, Mr. Bartlett was appointed to the
Board’s Audit Committee and the NGC.
Mr. Bartlett has been determined to be an independent
director under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the listing requirements of
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Bartlett and any other persons pursuant to which
he was selected as a director. Additionally, there are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Bartlett that the Company would be
required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Bartlett will be compensated for his service
as a director consistent with the compensation provided to other non-employee directors as described in the Company’s most recent
proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023 , except that for 2024, non-executive directors are eligible to
receive $215,000 in equity valued at the time of grant. New non-employee directors
who join the Board during a calendar quarter are eligible to receive the full cash fee for such calendar quarter and a pro-rated equity
grant. Accordingly, on March 6, 2024, Mr. Bartlett was granted 1,973 restricted stock units pursuant to the Company’s 2018 Omnibus
Incentive Plan, consistent with the previously disclosed terms of such securities granted to the Company’s non-employee directors.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
A copy of the press release
announcing Mr. Bartlett’s appointment and Mr. Mittal’s retirement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report

NEW YORK, March 7, 2024 – EXL
[NASDAQ: EXLS], a leading data analytics and digital operations and solutions company, announced today that Thomas Bartlett has

not stand for re-election at EXL’s 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and therefore will be retiring from the board in June 2024.
“We are excited to welcome Tom to the
board,” said Board Chair Vikram Pandit. “Tom brings a tremendous amount of experience in running a large, high-growth technology-focused
organization and we look forward to the insights he will bring.”
CEO and Board Vice Chair Rohit Kapoor, said,
“Tom has deep expertise in scaling growth as demonstrated in the expansion of American Tower from around $10 billion to $100 billion
in market capitalization under his leadership. His perspective will be immensely valuable as EXL pursues its mission to be the AI and

“EXL is at the forefront of combining
data, AI and domain knowledge to create true value for clients,” said Bartlett. “I am excited to join the board of directors

Bartlett joined American Tower in 2009 as
executive vice president and chief financial officer and served as its chief executive officer from 2020 to 2024. Prior to joining American

where he is a member of the audit committee and the compensation committee. He is a member of the World Economic Forum’s Information
and Communications Technologies (ICT) Board of Governors, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust (NAREIT) Executive
Committee, and the Business Roundtable.
“On behalf of EXL and its board of directors, I would also like
to thank Som for the wisdom and insights he has contributed since joining the board in 2013,” said Pandit. “Som’s deep
knowledge of industry in India and his unique perspective of the technology sector were invaluable to EXL’s growth.”
Kapoor added, “Som’s contributions to EXL over the years
have been extremely impactful. His clarity of thought and wealth of knowledge have served EXL well. I am thankful for Som’s service
to EXL and wish him and his family all the best.”
“I have truly enjoyed being a member of the board and being part
of what has been an incredible journey over the last 10 years,” said Mittal. “EXL is well positioned to take advantage of
the coming AI economy, and I look forward to following its continued success.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should not place undue reliance on those statements
because they are subject to numerous uncertainties and factors relating to EXL's operations and business environment, all of which are
difficult to predict and many of which are beyond EXL’s control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning EXL’s
possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of its business strategy. These statements may include words
such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements are based on assumptions that
we have made in light of management's experience in the industry as well as its perceptions of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. You should understand that these statements
are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although EXL believes
that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect EXL’s
actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. These factors, which include our ability to maintain and grow client demand, our ability to hire and retain sufficiently trained
employees, and our ability to accurately estimate and/or manage costs, rising interest rates, rising inflation and recessionary economic
trends, are discussed in more detail in EXL’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including EXL’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K. You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made herein, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date
on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may
affect EXL. EXL has no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof, except as required by federal securities
laws.
