- ahiknsr 5y ago> Third, a lot of Pichai's big bets have failed: Google Glass, Google Plus, Google Wave, Project Loon > He's been responsible for a lot of Google products. He might have been responsible but i wouldn't call those projects as Pichai's big bets.
- moshiv 5y agoPichai is there to keep the factory lights on and the assembly line running. Nobody is expecting anything more from him.

- sn41 5y agoYou're wrong there I think. I personally was surprised by Chrome and the way it took off - initially when it started it looked like a me too product, it seemed pointless to repeat the good work at Firefox. And Android was also a good bet, though in my humble view, not as good a one as Chrome. Sundar got some big calls right.
- sjg007 5y agoChromebooks too.
- detaro 5y ago> was "Product Chief" prior to becoming CEO for about a year, so still after all those dates. I'd guess Wave fell into his previous responsibility though.
- Clewza313 5y agoHis leadership roles were in Chrome, Gmail and Android, not any of the four products mentioned.
- sulam 5y agoGoogle doesn’t have a Product Chief responsible for all the products. It’s not organized that way.
