The Top 5 Most Searched Questions of Diwali 2023
In this digital age of curiosity, the number one global query that echoed through the search bars was a straightforward, Why Indians celebrate Diwali?
Other hot topics lighting up the search engines included,
Why do we do rangoli on Diwali?
Why do we light lamps on Diwali?
Why is Lakshmi puja done on Diwali?, and the somewhat unconventional Why an oil bath on Diwali?
This digital discourse on Diwali wasn't Pichai's only rendezvous with the Indian spotlight. Just a month ago, he had a fruitful interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The agenda? Elevating India's electronics manufacturing game. Modi applauded the dynamic duo of Google and HP for the making of Chromebooks on Indian soil, tipped his hat to the 100 languages initiative, and asked Pichai to sprinkle some AI magic in local languages. Oh, and let's not forget the PM's parting wish – a humble request for Google to throw in its technological prowess for smoother governance.
Thank you for a great meeting today PM @narendramodi. Inspiring to see the rapid pace of technological change under your leadership. Look forward to continuing our strong partnership and supporting India's G20 presidency to advance an open, connected internet that works for all. pic.twitter.com/eEOHvGwbqO
