So which means our revenue churn is negative.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

Yes.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

So today it is broadly only two axes.

One is when the customer grows in terms of number of seats.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

So that is definitely one.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

And we see a lot in our mid-market and large enterprise business.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

We see a lot of expand, land and expand.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

So companies that start with, say, 40, 50 seats actually expand to 200, 500, etc.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

So that's been one axis.

The other axis is we also have a customer success program where we have a three-tiered customer success program.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

We speak to customers, understand their business challenges.

We actually upgrade them to higher plans if what they need is something that we have built in the higher planner, but they're not aware of it and they're not using it.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

No, it is called customer success.

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

Their job is more to

1409 $1.5B Freshworks To IPO: Growing 40% YoY, Passes $100M in ARR, $250M Raised, 150,000 Companies Using

adoption and be proactive in their relationship with their customers in terms of doing quarterly business reviews and helping customers accomplish what they want with our product.
