His name may not ring a bell, but the new CEO of Google Sundar Pichai has worked on some of the best known products of the company - from the Chrome browser for Android mobile software.
Pichai, 43, was appointed executive director of the Internet titan Monday as Google unveiled a new corporate structure by creating an umbrella company called alphabet.
He will oversee the largest company under that umbrella, that Google will still call and continue to include some of their products for the home, including its search engine, ads, maps, apps, YouTube and Android.
Alphabet will be held by the head of Google, Larry Page, who compliments about Pichai, senior vice president of products showered.
"I feel very fortunate to have someone as talented as he is running the thin little Google and this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations," according to a blog page.
Page said he was impressed with his "progress and dedication to the company" and pledged to continue boyfriend Pichai, who has been with Google since 2004.
"I've spent a little time with Sundar, he and the company helping in everything I can, and of course I will continue to do that."
In his role as senior vice president of products, Pichai oversees the management, engineering and product search and Google platforms, according to the presentation of Google in the SEC in the United States.
Before that, he was senior vice president of Google Android, Chrome and applications, working in consumer products "used by millions of people," said the statement.
Pichai was part of the team that launched the Chrome browser in 2008 and worked in various search products, including Google Toolbar, Desktop Search, Gadgets and Google Gears, the company said.
American media describe him as gentle voice, little known, and a man of long-term trust to guide page.
In a 2014 interview with Forbes magazine, he said one of his top priorities was the transition to mobile.
"It is an important change for us?" he said.
"Yes. Are we doing well? There are many indications that we are together. When you look at all of our core products, they do well on mobile".
He also talked about the expansion of Google Play in China, who retired from Google in 2010 after a rain with Beijing on issues of censorship.
"If we can find a model by which we can serve the users, it would be a privilege to do so. Therefore, I do not think of China as a black hole," said the magazine.
"I see it as a great opportunity in which we are playing as a platform for today and hope we have the opportunity to offer other services in the future."
Before joining Google, Pichai worked as an engineer at manufacturer Applied Materials, followed by a stint in management consulting at McKinsey & Company.
Originally from Tamil Nadu in southeastern India, Pichai received a Bachelor of Technology from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
He also has a Master of Science from Stanford University and a Masters in Business Administration from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Page said Pichai is the man to lead the Google ship in the coming years, as it continues to innovate and expand its product base.
"The Google itself is also doing all kinds of new products, and I know Sundar always focuses on continuous innovation to stretch the limits," he said.
