Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai on Friday reflected on his 20-year-old journey with Google stating that a number of things have changed since he first joined Google as a product manager in 2004 but he still gets the same thrill from working at the Mountain-View California based company. 

Sharing his experience in a post on Instagram, Pichai wrote, “April 26, 2004 was my first day at Google. A lot has changed since then – technology, the number of people who use our products … my hair. What hasn’t changed – the thrill I get from working at this amazing company. 20 years in, I’m still feeling lucky.”

Sundar Pichai’s journey at Google: 

As mentioned earlier, 31 year old Sundar Pichai joined Google as a Product Manager in 2004. In the following years, the Indian born executive was involved with a number of key projects including development of Google chrome, Android, Google+, Maps, Search and ads. He quickly rose to be a close confidante of Google co-founder and then CEO Larry Page and his talent was rewarded with the position as CEO of Google in 2015. 

In a memo announcing Sundar Pichai’s promotion at the time, Larry Page wrote, “Sundar has a tremendous ability to see what’s ahead and mobilize teams around the super important stuff. We very much see eye-to-eye when it comes to product, which makes him the perfect fit for this role

Later on, Alphabet CEO Larry Page and Sergey Bin announced that they are stepping away from the company and Pichai was formally announced as the CEO of Alphabet. In a letter announcing his promotion, Sergey and Brin wrote that “Alphabet and Google no longer need two CEOs and a President.” 

“He (Sundar Pichai) will be the executive responsible and accountable for leading Google, and managing Alphabet’s investment in our portfolio of Other Bets” the duo added.

Sundar Pichai seems to be well compensated for his role as Alphabet and Google CEO earning around $226 million in the year 2022, according to a regulatory filing from last year.
