It was on May 20, 2010, that he unveiled the WebM video format and publicly revealed that Google will be open-sourcing its new video codec, VP8.

When Pichai took over management of Google’s products on March 13, 2013, Android was one of them. Andy Rubin formerly oversaw the development of Android. From April 2011 till July 30, 2013, he served on the board of directors at Jive Software. After serving as Google’s Product Chief under Larry Page, Pichai was chosen to replace Page as CEO on August 10, 2015. After the establishment of Alphabet Inc., the new holding company for the Google firm family was finalised on October 24, 2015, he assumed his new role.

In 2014, Pichai was considered a possible successor to Satya Nadella as CEO of Microsoft. Pichai made headlines in August 2017 when he dismissed a Google employee who had written a 10-page screed condemning the company’s diversity initiatives.

Pichai made these remarks in December 2017 at the World Internet Conference in China “Google undertakes a lot of work to aid Chinese businesses. Numerous Chinese SMEs rely on Google to export their wares to other markets.” Pichai took over as CEO of Alphabet Inc. in December 2019.

Testimony to The United States Congress

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee questioned Google CEO Sundar Pichai on a variety of Google-related matters on December 11, 2018, including the company’s purported intentions for a “censored search app” in China, the company’s privacy practices, and the possibility of political bias on Google’s platforms. Pichai responded by telling the panel that Googlers are legally forbidden from manipulating the results they see in searches. In addition, he said that “there are no present plans for a filtered search engine” in China, and that Google users have the option to stop having their data gathered. The committee’s members “staked out opposite sides of a partisan struggle,” according to Wired’s Issie Lapowsky, who called Pichai’s testimony a “huge squandered opportunity.”

In response to lawmakers’ concerns over the technology industry’s exemption from Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1934, the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation voted in October 2020 to subpoena Pichai and the CEOs of Facebook and Twitter to testify before the committee.
