Google and Alphabet Inc Sundar Pichai paid tribute to his Indian roots on receiving Padma Bhushan, in San Francisco this week. “India is a part of me. I carry it with me wherever I go,” he said on receiving the award from India’s Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
“I was fortunate to grow up in a family that cherished learning and knowledge, with parents who sacrificed a lot to make sure I had opportunities to explore my interests,” he added.
It is worth noting that Pichai was among the 17 awardees who were conferred with Padma Bhushan earlier this year. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in the Trade and Industry category. Now, months later, Pichai received India’s third-highest civilian honour in the presence of his close family members in San Francisco.
Thank you Ambassador @SandhuTaranjitS. It was an immense honor to receive the Padma Bhushan, and to have my family there with me today. Grateful to the Indian government and the people of India.

“Delighted to hand over Padma Bhushan to Google CEO Sundar Pichai in San Francisco. His inspirational journey from Madurai to Mountain View, strengthening India-America economic & tech. ties, reaffirms Indian talent’s contribution to global innovation,” India’s Ambassador to the US said on the occasion.
During his meeting with the ambassador, Pichai also touched upon the subject of India taking over the presidency for the upcoming G20 Summit that will be held in India in 2023. “India taking over the G20 Presidency will be an amazing opportunity to build consensus on strengthening the global economy by advancing an internet that is open, connected, secure and works for everyone,” Pichai said.
He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Digital India’ vision has certainly been an accelerator, “and I’m proud that Google continues to invest in India, partnering with governments, businesses and communities over two transformative decades,” IANS reported.
Talking about investing in India, Pichai said that Google was investing deeply in digital skilling and that the company had trained over one million women through its WomenWill Entrepreneurship Program and over 55,000 teachers in partnership with the government and local organisations.
“Earlier this year, we added 24 new languages to Google Translate using a new advancement in machine learning. Eight of them are languages native to India,” he added.
