Brillio was formed in 2014 when Collabera, an information technology (IT) recruiting and staffing company firm based in Morristown, New Jersey, spun off its IT services division.[2][3]

In October 2014, Brillio acquired Marketelligent, a Bangalore-based analytics provider founded in 2008.[4][5][6]

In April 2015, Brillio legally incorporated as its own entity under Brillio Holdings, Inc. in New Castle County, Delaware[7] and invested $3 million in Albeado, a Silicon Valley–based software company founded in 2010.[8] Raj Mamodia was a director of Albeado and participated in its seed funding in October 2014.[9] In October 2015, Brillio invested in Arundo Analytics, a Norway-based provider of analytical and predictive software.[10] Arundo had received seed funding in July 2015 from Northgate Capital.[11]

By 2016, Mamodia estimated 2,300 employees in the United States and India.[12]

In March 2018, Brillio acquired Comity Designs, a cloud and mobile service provider and Salesforce.com consulting partner founded by Dushyant Pandya in 2008.[13] In January 2019, private equity firm Bain Capital acquired a majority stake in the company.[14][15] In August 2018, it announced it was in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner network.[16] In April 2019, it announced a partnership with the Blue Planet IT division of Ciena.[17] In December 2019, it became a Microsoft Azure managed service Provider (MSP).[18]

It is India’s only national-level STEM challenge designed to engage children from both urban and rural areas and foster their curiosity, innovation, and design thinking skills.[26]

In January 2024, Brillio announced it will make significant investments to scale the capabilities and infrastructure at its Guadalajara, Mexico center, resulting in a five-fold increase in its headcount of top-tier engineering and AI talent in the country by the end of the year.[27]
