Global data and AI company EXL (NASDAQ: EXLS) has launched EXLdata.ai, a first-of-its-kind, agentic AI-native suite of data solutions developed in partnership with Databricks, the data and AI company.

Designed to solve one of the biggest barriers to enterprise AI adoption—making data ready for AI, EXLdata.ai unifies complex data ecosystems, streamlines governance, and transforms unstructured data management across the full data lifecycle.

By embedding AI directly into data management, the platform brings together data modernisation, AI-readiness, and intelligent automation to help enterprises accelerate the adoption of AI across their workflows. Databricks serves as the launch partner, integrating EXLdata.ai with its flagship Databricks Agent Bricks technology to help organisations build and optimise AI agents on enterprise data.

Australian context: AI’s data dilemma

EXL’s 2025 Enterprise AI Study found that globally, only 30% of organisations have data readily available across the enterprise, with most still struggling with data silos across outdated systems. Around 65% are also battling with unstructured data making up as much as 85% of total enterprise data posing significant challenges to AI deployment and innovation.

“EXLdata.ai is a game-changer for organisations wanting to make their data AI-ready,” said Rohit Kapoor, Chairman and CEO of EXL. “We’re helping businesses break down silos, increase visibility, and harness unstructured data through AI-native processes. This means reduced costs, faster implementation—weeks instead of months—and improved accuracy. We’re unlocking the data foundation that AI needs to deliver real results.”

Simplifying data management with agentic AI

At its core, EXLdata.ai is a multi-agent data solution that uses purpose-built, autonomous agents to handle tasks across the data lifecycle—from discovery and migration to governance, annotation, and operations. These agents deliver faster outcomes with high reliability and lower costs, while EXL’s agentic architecture ensures governance and compliance are automated, transparent, and auditable.

Built with an open, modular design, the platform allows organisations to integrate individual capabilities or deploy the entire suite through a unified, easy-to-use workbench.

Built to integrate with existing systems

EXLdata.ai has been developed to work with existing client infrastructure and partner ecosystems, making it a plug-in solution rather than a replacement. With Databricks’ seamless integrations and governance capabilities, enterprises can enhance data quality, improve model accuracy, and embed AI into business workflows faster.

“Enterprises looking to scale AI effectively need AI-ready data and robust governance,” said Barry Dauber, Vice President, GenAI GTM at Databricks. “EXL’s solution, powered by Databricks Agent Bricks, helps clients connect, prepare, and govern data at scale—accelerating AI adoption and measurable business outcomes.”
