About

Hiver is a Pune, India-based customer support platform founded in 2011 that has raised $42M in funding to build a helpdesk solution that lives natively inside Gmail and Google Workspace. Unlike platforms that require migrating to a separate support interface, Hiver adds shared inbox, ticket assignment, SLA management, automation, analytics, and collaboration features directly within the Gmail UI that support agents already use daily. This Gmail-native approach eliminates the onboarding barrier of learning a new tool and makes Hiver particularly attractive to teams that are deeply embedded in Google Workspace and want to avoid the disruption of a major software transition.
