Biography | Sundar Pichai — Launching Google Chrome on 2 September 2008

On 2 September 2008 Google publicly launched the beta of its browser, Google Chrome.
Sundar Pichai, then vice president of product management, was the lead product voice for the release.
He and engineering director Linus Upson presented the browser as a simpler, faster window for the modern web.
The product was released as open source under the Chromium project and initially available for Windows in more than 40 languages.
Chrome grew from that Mountain View launch into one of the dominant browsers worldwide.
The 2008 release marked a major public milestone in Pichai’s product leadership path that later led to the CEO role.
