Meet Girish Mathrubootham, who left Zoho to build an 80,000 crore software giant. Despite being called a rickshaw puller due to a drop in grades, Girish worked his way up in HCL Cisco and Zoho. Inspired by Zendesk's price hike, he founded Freshdesk in 2010, providing a fresh approach to customer queries. Facing challenges, Freshworks expanded to FreshService in 2014 and FreshSales in 2017. By 2018, Freshworks achieved unicorn status with 100,000 customers and a 10,000 crore valuation. In 2020, it listed on NASDAQ at an 80,000 crore valuation, becoming the first Indian SaaS company on the US stock market. As of the latest update, Freshworks has grown to a 4000 crore revenue with six products and 5400 global employees, making 500 employees crorepati through its IPO. 🚀💪
