Today Alphabet announced that Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, will take over Alphabet after co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin stepped down from their roles. Now Pichai will handle both Google & Alphabet.
I’m excited about Alphabet’s long term focus on tackling big challenges through technology. Thanks to Larry & Sergey, we have a timeless mission, enduring values and a culture of collaboration & exploration – a strong foundation we’ll continue to build on https://t.co/tSVsaj4FsR

India’s most robust export product is probably the ‘Global CEO.’ It’s now a universal perception that Indian executives are leadership material. If only there was some way of monetising these ‘exports,’ India would have a perpetual balance of payments surplus! 😊 https://t.co/y1n4EZeCaW

When #SundarPichai was asked at his job interview what he thought of the newly launched Gmail, he admitted that he didn't know what it was.
Great leaders don't have to have all the answers, all the time. They need the courage to understand & admit that they don't know it all.
