Pichai Sundararajan or Sundar Pichai of India has been officially named as CEO of Google, replacing Larry Page in the role. This future of Google is considered as the right-hand of Larry Page, but earned this spot after 15 years of hard work and innovations, especially in the last 11 months or so. He was in charge of all of Google's major products, including search, ads, Android, browser, and maps.

There were lot of smart people at Google, but in terms of the consumer products he's worked on so far, so he really deserves the limelight.
From that relatively hard-scrabble upbringing (his family got around by piling onto a Lambretta scooter,) Pichai attended the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Kharagpur, won a scholarship to Stanford University, worked at the early Silicon Valley blue chip Applied Materials Inc. and joined Google Inc. as a product manager working on the toolbar, an important early window into Google's services that appeared on the top of Web Browsers like internet Explorer.

His new role will be about positioning Google for the future, which hands him some of the toughest jobs in all of tech like shifting the profit engine from the desktop to mobile and combating the rapid growth of online shopping and more Inc. in e-commerce and cloud computing and Facebook Inc. in social networking.
