New Delhi: Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, recently spoke about the company’s strong position in response to ongoing antitrust challenges from the Department of Justice (DoJ). During an earnings call, he highlighted Google’s commitment to innovation and making its products easy to use. Pichai expressed concern that the DoJ’s proposed changes could unintentionally disrupt the tech industry and harm America’s leadership in technology.
He asserted that Google is seen as the best search engine because users consistently choose it for its quality. Pichai noted that both consumers and partners, including big names like Apple, prefer Google based on its merits, not because of unfair practices. While he didn’t provide specific strategies due to the ongoing legal issues, he indicated that it wouldn’t be appropriate to guess about the situation at this time.
Pichai’s comments reflect Google’s strategy of defending its practices as good for consumers and healthy for competition, despite facing significant scrutiny because of its size in the market.
