46. Sundar Pichai
In a major shake-up at Google, co-founder CEO Larry Page made Sundar Pichai the new product king who became responsible for everything that Google offers from search, such as ads, Google+, maps, commerce and infrastructure teams. The meteoric rise of young and brilliant Chennai-born Pichai from a senior vice president to #2 position is a calculated move to continue building vastly successful products aligned with the teenager mindset. Currently, Pichai is shouldering the responsibility as the engineer and CEO of Google LLC. This responsibility was given to him on August 10, 2015, in order to make Alphabet Inc. into Google’s parent company.
