    Sundar Pichai-led company

    Is that really a better description than just saying Google?

      Personally I like seeing his name nailed to the worst era in Google’s history. The company has gone into the shitter since he arrived.

      It’s not Google technically: it’s alphabet. Which is why they phrased it like that.

      Microsoft and Google have indian CEOs so they can penetrate the billion people market (indians are deeply patriotic, and it plays into overall brand loyalty) and these companies plan lower costs while doing so.

      What’s a few million dollar paid for a (specifically chosen for the purpose) CEO, when you can make billions by using it to gain grounds in a emerging market.

      Win-Win
