Sundar Pichai – Google’s new CEO
As the new CEO of a reorganized Google, India-born Sundar Pichai has joined an elite league of more than a dozen Indian source individuals holding top places at international corporations with collective turnover of about $400 billion.
In an important restructuring at Google, Pichai has been named the new CEO of the technology giant following the business cofounder Larry Page announced the creation of a fresh umbrella business Alphabet, of which Google will be a component.
43, Pichai, has joined the league of Indra Nooyi, Lakshmi Mittal, Ajay Banga, among a number of other Indian-origin men at the helm at big conglomerates.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, was the first to congratulate Pichai. Nadella tweeted on Pichai’s raising in the business, writing in the micro blogging website “Congrats @sundarpichai well deserved.”
There are a number of other Indians heading the businesses at comparatively smaller firms abroad, especially in IT sector, but at least 12 big firms have got India-produced chief executives.
International magazine Time once termed CEOs as India’s leading “export” and said the subcontinent could be “the perfect training ground for international managers.”
