The concept of Exly was brought alive by Suyash Sinha, Sidharth Rawat, Akhil Tripathi, along with the founding team - Swati Singh, Tanveer Chawla & Yash Gupta who have become an integral part since the Myscoot days.

Commenting on various offerings by Exly, Sidharth Rawat, Founder said “We started Exly to empower skilled creators to exploit their unique talents and convert that into a full-time business. The pandemic has hit many jobs and pay cuts have affected millions of people. We had creators from various verticals like tarot card readers, health and wellness coaches, growth experts, etc. from various cities across India approach us and eventually have successfully excelled in monetising their passion. We believe in advocating that no job should be boring and everyone is entitled to explore the opportunity of earning from what they enjoy doing.”

Sharing his views about Exly, Akhil Tripathi, Founder said “EXLY encapsulates all of our learnings from running multiple startups. Like their businesses would need, we enable our creators (Exlypreneurs) to create sales offers, take seamless payments, analyse their traffic sources, product performance, run ads and even run referral programs. Their fully responsive websites can already handle traffic of a million daily visitors. We've just started to scrape off the tip of the iceberg, and the future we bring to you would be even more exciting!”.

Expressing his views about the platform,  Mr. Sushant, Investment & Stock Trading Trainer at Exly : “So I was in search of a platform to automate my complete process for the classes I take. And finally, I got to know about Exly! The whole team is very cooperative. I no longer have to look after any technical things related to running my business - webinars, classes, payments, communications, etc. Everything is taken care of by Exly.”
