Sundar Pichai, in his first overseas visit after taking the charge of chief of Google Inc, has given a strong statement about the importance India will play in the overall strategy of the company in the future.
He said that Google is going to invest heavily in not just enabling Internet access in the country but also in making sure that great products are developed in India.
“It makes a lot of sense to invest in India as what we build here will have global usage,” he said.
He also gave examples of products such as MapMaker, Youtube offline, streamline search etc, that were developed for India and are widely used globally now.
