There was a time when people around Girish Mathrubhootham made fun of him because he could not clear the IIT entrance exam and today, he is the owner of a USD 13 billion company. Girish Mathrubhootham grew up in Tiruchi.
He wanted to get into IIT to pursue an engineering degree but he could not crack the IIT JEE and ended up completing his education at the Shanmugha Arts, Science, Technology & Research Academy near his hometown. After graduation, Girish Mathrubhootham decided to pursue an MBA but he did not have enough money to pay for his education. He had to ask for a loan from his relatives.
Girish Mathrubhootham completed his MBA from the University of Madras.
After completing his studies, Girish Mathrubhootham worked at Zoho in the post of vice president of product management for over 10 years. Eventually, he decided to set up his own company and left Zoho.
In 2010, Girish Mathrubhootham launched his company, Freshwork. He launched the company from an air conditioning warehouse in Tamil Nadu. Girish rented this place at just 100 dollars. The firm got its first funding in 2011 from Accel, which invested Rs 10 lakh in the firm. After a lot of hard work, today, the company is one of India's fastest-growing unicorns. In 2021, the company was listed on NASDAQ in the United States with a valuation of 13 billion dollars.
Girish Mathrubhootham's company offers a platform to its clients that has software tools that support sales, productivity, marketing, human resources and IT fields. Mathrubootham shifted the company’s base from Chennai to San Mateo, California. His firm serves over 50000 customers in 120 companies.
