November 2, 2021
How can a software company reach success in today's market without losing its core vision and principles? When is the right timing to take your business to an IPO? Many organizations change their business focus to make specific companies and customers happy. As a result, their products become irrelevant to the market.

- Why going IPO became a historic event for Freshworks and the software industry
- Why organizations going IPO must focus on operational readiness and execution readiness
