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.

Our enterprise-grade solutions are powerful, yet easy to use, and quick to deliver results.

And, over 4,500 Freshworks employees make this possible, all around the world.
