Company Description
Organizations everywhere struggle under the crushing costs and complexities of “solutions” that
promise to simplify their lives. To create a better experience for their customers and employees. To
help them grow. Software is a choice that can make or break a business. Create better or worse
experiences. Propel or throttle growth. Business software has become a blocker instead of ways to
get work done.
There’s another option. Freshworks. With a fresh vision for how the world works.
At Freshworks, we build uncomplicated service software that delivers exceptional customer and
employee experiences. Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet easy to use, and quick to
deliver results. Our people-first approach to AI eliminates friction, making employees more effective

experience (EX) software to fuel customer loyalty and service efficiency. And, over 4,500 Freshworks
employees make this possible, all around the world.
