Item 5.03.    AMENDMENTS  TO ARTICLES  OF  INCORPORATION  OR BYLAWS;  CHANGE IN
              FISCAL YEAR.

              On  October  24,  2007,  the  Board of  Directors  of  ExlService
Holdings,  Inc. (the "Company")  amended and restated the Company's Amended and
Restated By-laws,  effective as of October 24, 2007, to amend Article 7 thereof
to allow for the issuance of uncertificated  shares of the Company's stock. The
amendment makes the Company's  shares of common stock eligible for inclusion in
the Direct  Registration  Program,  as required  by Section  4350 of the Nasdaq
Stock Exchange's  Marketplace  Rules, which allows investors to have securities
registered  in their names  without the issuance of physical  certificates  and
allows investors to  electronically  transfer  securities to  broker-dealers in
order to effect  transactions  without  the risks and  delays  associated  with
transferring physical certificates.

              The full text of the Second Amended and Restated By-laws is filed
as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current  Report,  and Article 7 therein is  incorporated
herein by reference.

Item 9.01.    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
