We investigate a flat emergent universe (EU) with a nonlinear equation of state equivalent to three different composition of fluids. In the EU initially, the evolution of the universe began with no interaction but as time evolves an interaction sets in among the three fluids leading to the observed universe. The characteristic of an EU is that it is a singularity free universe that evolves with all the basic features of the early evolution. For a given nonlinear equation of state parameter, it permits a universe with three different fluids, we get a universe with dark energy, cosmic string, and radiation domination to begin with which at a later epoch transits into a universe with three different fluids with matter domination (baryonic as well as dark matter) and dark energy for a given interaction strength among the cosmic fluids. The evolution of the universe is probed with exponential interactions to obtain a universe with late acceleration. The model parameters are constrained using the observed Hubble data and Type Ia Supernova (SnIa) data from the Pantheon data set. An interacting EU transforms to a matter dominated phase with DE accommodating the present universe satisfactorily. The stability of the cosmological model is also discussed.
