An Open Letter to Sundar Pichai


Hi Sundar Pichai,

My name is Avathanshu Bhat. I am 13 years old and live in Mumbai, India. After a challenging set of assignments, I was privileged to be selected for #SummerCampWithGoogle Thanks to this wonderful opportunity, I traveled to Hyderabad on a full expenses-paid trip to visit the Google India Office. It is a great feeling to know what is behind the plain color logo which we all see every day! I got a chance to see where Google's services actually function. The Google Team handled the entire event excellently, from the airport to the stay to everything! Hats off to them!

 The thing I admire most about Google is how they introduce such vast ranges of products, all of which are extremely useful. Another is how products such as smart phones and smart speakers are all dominated by AI, Voice Control, Bio-metrics etc. all of which are giant leaps in the tech-world in quick succession. (I have seen all of the existing AI such as Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa, Cortana and Bixby and I still think Google Assistant is smarter than them all by far. It is my personal favorite too!)



 What amazed me the most was the environment you provide to your employees; I haven't yet seen your HQ in Mountain View, but everything is so 'user-friendly'. Stressed out by work? Grab whatever you want at the cafeteria. Didn't get sleep? Take a nap at the Sleeping Quarters. Laptop forgotten or stopped working? Here's another one for you to use from the spare! What with the game room, gymnasium and much more, you make sure that no employee fails to work because of any of the reasons above. I admire that! I just want to thank you for creating something without which the world would stumble. I hope the Google Alphabet continues to expand and collaborate with other companies around the world.


 On a personal note, Google has been part of my life since as long as I can remember. When I grow up, I too want to contribute to society in the same way Google has been doing for the human race. To repeat what I put at the end of my fourth assignment, "Thank you Google, never stop to amaze us!"

Cheers!!
Avathanshu
