On 10 August 2015, an unassuming product expert who learnt his ropes at IIT Kharagpur was declared the next CEO of tech giant Google. Sundar Pichai�s appointment was hardly an unexpected one. Pichai is a man known as much for his veritable Midas touch with every product he has developed or led for Google � Chrome, Chrome OS and Android, to name just a few � as for his superlative people skills and open-minded approach to innovation. Yet, the company�s decision to restructure its product lines and appoint Pichai as the head of a leaner, more focused Google, has raised inevitable questions: � What does Pichai�s role augur for the future of the tech giant? � Will Google consolidate its position for existing products or will they focus on creating new ones? � And will Pichai transform the organization that Schmidt, Page and Brin created and led, or confirm the belief of a minority of naysayers that he is not yet ready for this daunting role? Pichai: The Future of Google provides answers to these questions while throwing light on Sundar Pichai�s childhood and education; his entry into the tech world and quick rise up the ranks in Google; and his key contributions as a leader and tech-guru to Google�s most successful properties. Timely and insightful, this book offers a rare glimpse into the fascinating ecosystem of a path-breaking company and shows us what it takes to be a dynamic leader in the 21st century.
