SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. Freshworks Inc. Dated: May 1, 2024 By: /s/ Pamela Sergeeff Pamela Sergeeff Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel Freshworks Announces CEO Transition Founder and CEO Girish Mathrubootham will transition to role of Executive Chairman, President Dennis Woodside to become Chief Executive Officer & President San Mateo, Calif. May 1, 2024 Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) today announced the appointment of Dennis Woodside as Freshworks Chief Executive Officer & President, effective later today. Woodside, currently Freshworks President, will succeed Girish Mathrubootham, the companys Founder, as CEO. Mathrubootham will transition to a new role of Executive Chairman. Mathrubootham will remain the chairman of the Board of Directors, and Woodside will also remain a member of the Board of Directors. Since founding Freshworks in 2010, Mathrubootham has transformed Freshworks from a fledgling startup in Chennai into a leading SaaS company headquartered in San Mateo, with products that make it easy for every business to delight their employees and customers. Mathrubootham steered Freshworks through an IPO on Nasdaq in September 2021, making Freshworks the first India-born SaaS firm to trade on a US exchange. Under his leadership, the business has grown to serve more than 67,000 customers globally, powered by approximately 4,900 talented employees operating globally in 13 locations. When I first proposed this next step to the Freshworks Board, we were starting to chart the next phase of our companys journey. We brought Dennis on board to partner with me on crafting an ambitious growth plan, and my hope was that he could eventually lead the team of talented employees around the world to execute it, which would allow me to spend more time on the long-term product visi
