Despite the technological progress these companies have made, the first generation of SaaS has become too fragmented, unwieldy, and expensive, making it inaccessible for a wide swath of businesses. Organizations of all sizes, not just large enterprises, are facing increasing pressure to digitally transform and meet higher levels of customer and employee expectations. These stakeholders have become accustomed to the instant gratification of the digital economy, but the business software they use has not kept up.</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">At Freshworks, we build products that make it easier for businesses to delight their customers and employees.

We build intelligence and automation into our products wherever possible to accelerate user productivity and allow them to quickly meet the increasing demands of customers and employees. By accelerating time to value, increasing productivity, and lowering costs, we provide businesses with a concrete return on their investment in Freshworks.

Before investing in our Class A common stock, you should carefully consider the risks set forth under the caption &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; in the final prospectus relating to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259118), filed with the SEC on September 22, 2021, which are incorporated by reference herein, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC, together with the financial and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

This may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. </font></div><div style="height:36pt;position:relative;width:100%"><div style="bottom:0;position:absolute;width:100%"><div style="text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">12</font></div></div></div><div id="iae58fea055f1414793a1aafc9dee526a_134"></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><div style="min-height:36pt;width:100%"><div><font><br></font></div></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">LEGAL MATTERS </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">The validity of the Shares offered hereby has been passed upon by Cooley LLP, Palo Alto, California. </font></div><div id="iae58fea055f1414793a1aafc9dee526a_220"></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:center"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:115%">EXPERTS</font></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:115%">The financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement by reference to the Company's Registration Statement No. 333-259118 on Form S-1, as amended, have been audited by Deloitte &#38; Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report.

This registration statement contains a "reoffer prospectus" prepared in accordance with Part I of Form S-3 (in accordance with Instruction C of the General Instructions to Form S-8). This reoffer prospectus may be used for reoffers and resales on a continuous or delayed basis of certain of those shares of Class A common stock (the "Shares") of Freshworks Inc. ("us", "we" or the "Registrant") referred to above that constitute "control securities" or "restricted securities" within the meaning of the Securities Act, by certain stockholders that are directors, executive officers and current and former employees and third-party contractors and consultants to the Registrant (the "Selling Stockholders"), some of whom are deemed to be our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, for their own accounts. As specified in General Instruction C of Form S-8, the amount of securities to be reoffered or resold under the reoffer prospectus by each Selling Stockholder and any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling the Registrant's securities, may not exceed, during any three-month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.
REOFFER PROSPECTUS
Freshworks Inc.
13,555,142 Shares of Class A Common Stock
This prospectus relates to 13,555,142 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Shares"), of Freshworks Inc., which may be offered from time to time by certain of our stockholders that are directors, executive officers and current and former employees and third-party contractors and consultants to Freshworks Inc. (the "Selling Stockholders"), some of whom are deemed to be our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, for their own accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders made hereunder. The Shares were or will be acquired by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to our employee benefit plans.
The Selling Stockholders may sell the securities described in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices, including sales in the open market, sales in negotiated transactions and sales by a combination of these methods. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the Shares and we do not know when or in what amount the Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares, if they were to sell any, hereunder following the effective date of this registration statement. The price at which any of the Shares may be sold, and the commissions, if any, paid in connection with any such sale, are unknown and may vary from transaction to transaction. The Shares may be sold at the market price of the Class A common stock at the time of a sale, at prices relating to the market price over a period of time, or at prices negotiated with the buyers of shares. The Shares may be sold through underwriters or dealers which the Selling Stockholders may select. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the Shares, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. We provide more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell their Shares in the section titled "Plan of Distribution." The Selling Stockholders will bear all sales commissions and similar expenses. Any other expenses incurred by us in connection with the registration and offering that are not borne by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by us.
Our Class A common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market  ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "FRSH." On November 3, 2021, the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock was $43.06 per share.
The amount of securities to be offered or resold under this reoffer prospectus by each Selling Stockholder or other person with whom he or she is acting in concert for the purpose of selling our securities, may not exceed, during any three month period, the amount specified in Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.
We are an "emerging growth company" as defined under the federal securities laws, and as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before buying any securities, you should carefully read the discussion of the risks of investing in our securities in "Risk Factors" beginning on page 2 of this prospectus.
If any of the Selling Stockholders utilize a broker-dealer in the sale or distribution of the Shares, such broker-dealer may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from such Selling Stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") may take the view that, under certain circumstances, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and commissions, discounts or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. See the section titled "Plan of Distribution."
Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

THE COMPANY
Overview
Our mission is to make it fast and easy for businesses to delight their customers and employees.
We provide businesses of all sizes with modern SaaS products that are designed with the user in mind. We started with Freshdesk, our customer experience (CX) product, and later expanded our offering to include Freshservice, our IT service management (ITSM) product. We then expanded our product offering to include a more complete customer relationship management (CRM) solution, which includes sales force and marketing automation. Finally, business users can have the power of modern SaaS technology with the ease of use of the most widely used consumer internet services.
The first generation of SaaS held enormous potential to give businesses more flexibility in the way they deployed software and make work easier. Despite the technological progress these companies have made, the first generation of SaaS has become too fragmented, unwieldy, and expensive, making it inaccessible for a wide swath of businesses. Organizations of all sizes, not just large enterprises, are facing increasing pressure to digitally transform and meet higher levels of customer and employee expectations. These stakeholders have become accustomed to the instant gratification of the digital economy, but the business software they use has not kept up.
At Freshworks, we build products that make it easier for businesses to delight their customers and employees. Our powerful software delivers the modern functionality and capabilities businesses need, while being intuitive and easy to use, rapid to onboard, agile, and affordable for organizations of all sizes. We build intelligence and automation into our products wherever possible to accelerate user productivity and allow them to quickly meet the increasing demands of customers and employees. By accelerating time to value, increasing productivity, and lowering costs, we provide businesses with a concrete return on their investment in Freshworks. With an increased ability to delight customers and employees, businesses also benefit from improved customer and employee retention, net promoter scores (NPS), and better business outcomes.
Corporate Information
We were initially incorporated in August 2010 as FreshDesk Inc., a Delaware corporation. In June 2017, we changed our name to Freshworks Inc. Our principal executive offices are located at 2950 S. Delaware Street, Suite 201, San Mateo, California 94403. Our telephone number is (650) 513-0514. Our website address is freshworks.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and you should not consider information on our website to be part of this prospectus.
We are an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and therefore we are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.
Summary Risk Factors
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk because our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, as fully described in the section titled "Risk Factors" immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
We have a history of losses, and we may not be able to achieve profitability or, if achieved, sustain profitability.
•
We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods, and our recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future growth.
•
We have a limited operating history at our current scale, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
•
We track certain key business metrics, which are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and materially adversely affect our stock price, business, results of operations, and financial condition.
•
We believe our long-term value as a company will be greater if we focus on growth, which may negatively impact our profitability.
1
•
Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not meet our expectations or those of investors or securities analysts.
•
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how we and our customers operate, including our productivity, and has adversely affected the global economy, and the duration of and extent to which the pandemic will affect our business, future results of operations, and financial condition remains uncertain.
•
If we are unable to attract new customers, convert customers using our trial versions into paying customers, and expand usage of our products within or across organizations, our revenue growth would be harmed.
•
Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends on our ability to develop new features, integrations, capabilities, and enhancements and to partner with third parties to design complementary products.
•
We recognize subscription revenue over the term of our customer contracts and, consequently, downturns or upturns in new subscriptions for our products may not be immediately reflected in our operating results and may be difficult to discern.
•
Our business depends substantially on our customers renewing their subscriptions and purchasing additional subscriptions from us, and any decline in our customer retention would harm our future operating results.
•
We operate in a highly competitive industry, and competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.
•
A substantial portion of our business and operations are located in India, and we are subject to regulatory, economic, social, and political uncertainties in India.
•
We may be subject to various labor laws, regulations, and standards in India. Non-compliance with and changes in such laws may adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
•
The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those stockholders who held our stock prior to this offering, including our executive officers, employees, and directors and their affiliates, and limiting your ability to influence corporate matters.
2
RISK FACTORS
An investment in shares of our Class A common stock is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. We face a variety of risks that may affect our operations or financial results and many of those risks are driven by factors that we cannot control or predict. Before investing in our Class A common stock, you should carefully consider the risks set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in the final prospectus relating to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259118), filed with the SEC on September 22, 2021, which are incorporated by reference herein, and subsequent reports filed with the SEC, together with the financial and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Class A  common stock would likely decline and you may lose all or a part of your investment. Only those investors who can bear the risk of loss of their entire investment should invest in our Class A common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock as of October 26, 2021, as adjusted to reflect the Shares that may be sold from time to time pursuant to this prospectus, for all Selling Stockholders, consisting of the individuals shown as having shares listed in the column entitled "Shares Being Offered."
The Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders hereunder consist of an aggregate of 13,555,142 Shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock acquired by or which may be acquired by certain of our stockholders that are directors, executive officers, and current and former employees, third-party contractors, and consultants upon the exercise of stock options or settlement of restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs"). We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. In computing the number of shares of our Class A common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of Class B common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable or issuable upon settlement of RSUs, in each case within 60 days of October 26, 2021. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

We are registering the Shares covered by this prospectus to permit the Selling Stockholders to conduct public secondary trading of these Shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the Shares offered by this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Shares will be the purchase price of the Shares less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers' or underwriters' discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares covered by this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of Shares to be made directly or through agents.
The Shares offered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:
•
directly by the Selling Stockholders, or
•
through underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions, or agent's commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of the Shares.
If any of the Selling Stockholders utilize a broker-dealer in the sale or distribution of the Shares, such broker-dealer may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions from such Selling Stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the Shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal.
Any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions, or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements, or understandings between the Selling Stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer, or agent regarding the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
The Shares may be sold in one or more transactions at:
•
fixed prices;
•
prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
•
prices related to such prevailing market prices;
•
varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
•
negotiated prices.
These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:
•
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including Nasdaq;
•
in the over-the-counter market;
•
in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;
•
any other method permitted by applicable law; or
•
through any combination of the foregoing.
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
At the time a particular offering of the Shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate amount of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions, and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders, and (3) any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.
11
The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all of the Shares under this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Stockholders will not transfer, distribute, devise or gift the Shares by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any Shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Shares may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Shares will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular Shares being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Shares.
The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 4.    Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act. The Registrant's amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorized the Registrant to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant's amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and may indemnify its other employees and agents. The Registrant's amended and restated bylaws also provide that, on satisfaction of certain conditions, the Registrant will advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit it to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether it would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under the provisions of the DGCL.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers, whereby it has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Registrant, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of the Registrant regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
II-1
The Registrant maintains insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.
Item 7.    Exemption from Registration Claimed.
The issuance of the Shares being offered by the Form S-8 resale prospectus were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (or Regulation D or Regulation S promulgated thereunder), or Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or pursuant to benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided under Rule 701. The recipients of the securities in each of these transactions represented their intentions to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were placed upon the stock certificates issued in these transactions. All recipients had adequate access, through their relationships with us, to information about the Registrant.

Item 9.    Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
II-2
Provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
