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 and organizations more productive. Over

72,000 companies, including Bridgestone, New Balance, Nucor, S&P Global, and Sony

Music, trust Freshworks’ customer experience (CX) and employee experience (EX)

software to fuel customer loyalty and service efficiency. And, over 4,500 Freshworks

employees make this possible, all around the world.

Fresh vision. Real impact. Come build it with us.
