Freshworks, a Silicon Valley and Chennai-based cloud software provider for customer support, beat its guidance for its fiscal Q3 revenue which rose 37 percent in constant currency. The company raised its full-year projection, although the December quarter growth is expected at a slower, 27-28 percent range, according to a company press release. Sales for the three months ended Sep. 30 rose to $128.8 million, a 33 percent increase in reported terms, year-on-year, and 37 percent growth in constant currency terms, which eliminates the effect of fluctuating currency rates. Freshworks had projected an increase of 31-33 percent in August. The company is projecting a slower 27-28 percent growth for the current quarter but still expects to grow 36-37 percent for the full year, which is a 100-basis-point higher than its August projection of 35-36 percent.
