Google announced that it was separating its core business and other products into a cluster of companies that would all be under the umbrella company, Alphabet. Google's current senior vice president of products, Sundar Pichai, will be Google's new CEO while the current CEO and founder, Larry Page will be Alphabet's CEO.
Other don't know who Sundar Puchai is and since he'll be the next Google CEO, it's better to get to know the man behind Chrome.
Pichai started working for Google in 2004 as part of the team that was working on the search tool bar that Google includes in their search engine. He came up with an idea that Google should have its own browser and he later led the creation of Chrome which is now the most popular browser in the U.S.
After his success with Google Chrome, he then managed Gmail and Google Docs in2011 and in 2013, took over Android which happens to be one of the most important department of Google as it compete with Apple on mobile supremacy. Later in 2014, Pichai was appointed as Google's product chief and he brought Maps and Google+ to the table.
With his great contributions to the company, Sundar was known as Larry Page's number two. Google's current CEO relies on him as Page will have to focus to different transitions Google is going through. Page said that "Sundar has been saying the things I would have said (and sometimes better) for quite some time now, and I've been tremendously enjoying our work together. I know he deeply cares that we can continue to make big strides on our core mission to organize the world's information."
Sundar has a friendly demeanor that made Google's more than 55,000 employees like him. According to Ceasar Sengupta, a Googler, "I would challenge you to find anyone at Google who doesn't like Sundar or who thinks Sundar is a jerk." Sundar is also the first ever non- white CEO of Google as he proves his worth and skills are very valable for the company. Sundar studied engineering at Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur but later go to America to study at Stamford but, later dropped out.
