After India's first software-as-a-service (SaaS) startup Freshworks got listed on US stock exchange Nasdaq, a throwback video of its founder and chief executive officer Girish Mathrubootham shaking a leg onstage is taking Twitter by storm. Shares of the Accel and Sequoia Capital-backed company rose 32 per cent after raising $1 billion in an initial public offering priced above a marketed range, reported Bloomberg. As congratulatory messages poured in for Mr Mathrubootham, Sequoia Managing Director G V Ravi Shankar treated his followers to a video of the Freshworks CEO dancing onstage.
