How Workday CEO Aneel Bhusri grew Workday to $7.3B revenue and 10K customers in 2024.
Workday is a software-as-a-service provider that offers enterprise resource planning software for medium and large enterprises. The firm's roots are in ERP software vendor PeopleSoft, which was founded by Workday cofounder David Duffield, while fellow Workday cofounder Aneel Bhusri served as vice chairman at PeopleSoft. The company's product portfolio is centered on human capital and financial management software, though it continues to add new applications to the product set. Just over 75% of the firm's revenue comes from the U.S. The company continues to grow by making periodic small acquisitions.
