Upon receiving the prestigious award, Pichai in his blog said,”India is a part of me and I carry it with me wherever I go.

“I am deeply grateful to the Indian government and the people of India for this immense honour. It is incredibly meaningful to be honoured in this way by the country that shaped me,” Pichai continued.
Meanwhile, Pichai recalled Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of technology and said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India vision has certainly been an accelerator for that progress and I’m proud that Google continues to invest in India, partnering with governments, businesses, and communities over two transformative decades.”
