Our take

Offering an excellent customer service experience is more important than ever, but without the right tools, this can be difficult. Freshworks solves this problem by providing businesses with SaaS tools that drive customer engagement and satisfaction.

Freshworks was first founded in Chennai, India, before being heavily rebranded and successfully launched in the US. Since then, the company has grown into a market leader, and one of Salesforce’s chief competitors. Freshworks’ multi-billion dollar valuation is a testament to the market’s confidence in its products, which span social media comms, customer service chat functions, and more.

Freshworks is active across the US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and its clients include the NHS, Hugo Boss and Toshiba. Customer engagement is a fiercely competitive market, but Freshworks’ impressive growth shows that the company has significant staying power.
