Freshdesk CEO responds to startup being called overstaffed
Freshdesk CEO Girish Mathrubootham has responded to criticism by The Startup Centre's Founder Vijay Anand about the number of employees at Indian startups like Zoho, Practo, and Freshdesk. Anand compared Freshdesk's 900-strong team to Skype, which was built by 27 engineers. Calling the comparison flawed, Mathrubootham said Freshdesk is a more efficient company than its Silicon Valley counterparts.
