Turning enterprise products into stories that close deals.

Product marketer with 8+ years at Freshworks shaping GTM for ITSM, ITAM, ITOM, and AI-led ServiceOps. Passionate about how AI is transforming product experience, monetization, and enterprise operations, I bridge technical depth with sharp product storytelling, driving launches, pipeline, analyst influence, and AI-forward narratives across a 21,000+ customer base.

Prathiksha Rudharraju

A PMM built at the intersection of product, customer, and revenue.

I started in customer-facing roles, implementing Freshservice for enterprise IT teams, before moving into product marketing. That path gave me an uncommon blend of product fluency, business perspective, and a real instinct for how customers buy and adopt.

Today I lead positioning, launches, and sales enablement for Freshworks' enterprise IT portfolio, partnering closely with Product, Sales, Analyst Relations, and Customer Success to ship messaging that scales from mid-market to large enterprise.

Eight years. One company. Turning customer insight into market impact.
