Ira Pradhan, former corporate communications lead at Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India, is set to join SaaS unicorn Freshworks as lead internal communications, diversity and inclusion and CSR.

Last year Freshworks raised 150 US million dollars in a Series-H funding round led by Sequoia Capital, CapitalG and Accel. According to a news report in The Economic Times based on a press release issued by the company, this raised Freshworks' evaluation to 3.5 US billion dollars.

Pradhan has previously worked with Phillips and Tesco in communication roles and has close to 18 years of experience in communication.
