Item 8.01    OTHER EVENTS.

             On July  16,  2007,  ExlService  Holdings,  Inc.  (the  "Company")
entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement"),  effective as of July
1, 2007, with Norwich Union,  one of the Company's major clients,  amending the
terms of exercise of Norwich Union's option (the "Transfer  Option") to require
the Company to transfer the relevant  project and operations of its facility at
Pune,  India, to Norwich Union.  Pursuant to the Letter  Agreement,  the notice
period for the exercise of the Transfer Option has been reduced from six months
to three  months and the earliest  date of exercise of the Transfer  Option has
been  extended  from July 1,  2007 to  October  1,  2007.  As a result,  if the
Transfer  Option is exercised,  the earliest date by which the Company would be
required to transfer the Pune, India,  facility to Norwich Union, is January 1,
2008,  which date is unchanged from the existing terms of the Transfer  Option.
The remaining terms of our agreements with Norwich Union remain unchanged.
