Google’s Pichai visits Indian embassy
GOOGLE CEO Sundar Pichai has held discussions with the Indian ambassador in the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, about the technology giant‘s activities in India, particularly its aggressive push towards digitisation, as he became the first top Indian-American tech business leader to visit the country‘s embassy in Washington.
‘Thank you‘ Ambassador Sandhu for the great conversation,' Pichai said in a tweet after his visit to the embassy late last week.
‘Appreciated the chance to discuss Google's commitment to India and look forward to continuing our support for India's digital future,‘ said Pichai, who in January this year was named among the 17 awardees to receive the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour.
The Indian envoy added that they ‘exchanged thoughts on expanding India-US commercial, knowledge & tech partnership with Google.'
Google under Pichai has made a massive investment in India and phenomenally expanded its footprint in a wide range of sectors including its training for the younger generation.
