  • Girish believes that in India, education is the enemy of sports. We’ve all been kids and loved playing sports, but as parents, we focus too much on education.
    In this talk, Girish throws light upon how he's building a new avenue for creating respect for sportspersons and celebrating the country’s champions. Girish Mathrubootham is the founder and CEO of Freshworks, one of the world’s fastest-growing SaaS product company, winning the Economic Times Startup of the Year in 2016, the Business Standard Startup of the Year in 2017, and now part of India’s unicorn club. The homegrown customer-engagement software maker has a suite of products, catering to more than 1,50,000 businesses worldwide including big names like Honda, Cisco, Toshiba, Bridgestone, University of Pennsylvania, and Hugo Boss. Girish is part of the Product Council for NASSCOM, the trade association of Indian software companies.
    Girish also runs a charitable trust to promote grassroots football in India, which backs FC Madras. The professional football club will compete in the U13 and U15 divisions of the I-League. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I don’t like football just because majority of the world follows it. I love it anyway. But India ( Indian education) really needs to consider that even carpentry is a profession and that a good carpenter also can make what an MBA or Engineer cannot make. How nice it would be in India to see a Vehicle mechanic make as much as a doctor or be able to at least own what he/she wants to have in this short life.

      in India trades are looked down upon by the parents.. hopefully this attitude changes as India's economy grows at a rapid pace and we have to match that growth by building
      Mega Structures commensurate

    What India need to do, is to develop a competitive football league, and include the talent that is in the U.K, because it doesn't matter how talented you are, you are not going to get far in this country if you have Indian coloured skin. Afro Caribbean/ Africans have a small chance, but an Indian Messi is going no where.
