Our Team

At Whatfix, we excel in providing guided assistance across three critical application layers: Desktop, Mobile, and Web.

Our team specializes in the end-to-end Desktop DAP layer, a new venture initiated just two years ago.

It's a new product built from scratch and there is still a lot of engineering work going on which means a lot of learning.

We currently have nine highly experienced engineers working on the desktop product who are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovations.

To date, our team has successfully filed six patents, and we have more in the pipeline.

Every day, we tackle challenges that no other vendor or competitor in our industry has managed to solve.

The unique aspect of our journey is that we're trailblazers, setting the standards, and paving the way for the entire industry.
