Peak XV sells $52m Freshworks stake

Venture capital firm Peak XV sold over 1% of its stake in Freshworks for US$52 million, reducing its holdings in the Nasdaq-listed software company.

The firm sold nearly 2.9 million shares between Dec. 9 and Jan. 28, at prices ranging from US$17 to US$19.20 per share.

This follows a US$40 million share sale by Freshworks founder Girish Mathrubootham in December and WestBridge Capital’s sale of 275.000 shares in Q3 2024.

The company’s Q3 2024 revenue grew 21.4% year-on-year to US$186 million, driven by demand for its AI-powered products.
