Flint’s co-founders Ankur Gakkhar and Abhishek Pande would lead the automation and cloud management product teams and the platform and technology integration verticals respectively.
“We felt the pressure of today’s remote environment as we went from 13 workplace. s to 3,000+ home offices in a matter of days. With the addition of Flint’s intelligent automation, Freshworks takes the legwork out of tedious, repeatable tasks so IT teams can focus on high impact work while providing an exceptional employee experience,” said Prakash Ramamurthy, CPO at Freshworks.
“As part of Freshservice, the acquired Flint technology will also enable insight across infrastructure and apps, maintain service health and optimize cloud delivery and spend,” said Abhishek Pande, co-founder, Flint.
