Stock to watch, Sept. 6 -- The share price of Freshworks, a Nasdaq-listed software firm, is likely to be the focus of attention on Monday, September 8, following the resignation of the company's executive chairman, Girish Mathrubootham.

His decision to step down comes just one and a half years after he quit as the chief executive officer (CEO) of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) major in May 2024, which sent the company stock tumbling by over 25%.

Mathrubootham, who co-founded the company with Shanmugam Krishnasamy in 2010, will step down as chairman of the board and retire on December 1, 2025. The firm was founded in Chennai and is currently based in San Mateo, United States.
