Co-founder Krishnasamy exits Freshworks, led SaaS firm's tech operations

The executive left at least six months ago; decision was announced at a company town hall meeting

Shanmugam Krishnasamy, co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO) of Freshworks, has left the Nasdaq-listed software as a service (SaaS) company.

Sources said Krishnasamy’s exit happened at least six months ago but the news was not public. Media reports said on Wednesday Freshworks is operating without a chief technology officer for months now.

“Performing the role of CTO, his duty was to solve complex engineering problems for Freshworks. He is out of Freshworks now. The development happened almost six months ago. He wanted to travel and follow his passions like cars. He wanted to do it on his own terms,” said
