He added Android to Google products during his service as senior vice-president. He is also member of Board of Advisors at Ruba, Inc. Google founders have named him as C.E.O. of their world famous company during the course of re-organization of many divisions working under Google Inc.
They pulled out some units like Calico (which mainly focuses on Longevity), X Lab (Incubates new efforts like Wing, Google’s Drone etc.) and other units that are dealing with life sciences like developing smart contact lens etc. They believe that all these units which are not directly related to their internet business are slowing down Google’s pace. So, they brought them all these units under a mother unit named as Alphabet that runs under them and made Sundar Pichai as C.E.O. of Google Inc.
