I said he isn't a "world-changing bastard".

And if you're running a 1500 crore company and spend time fighting on Twitter, crashing cars, impulsively resigning, abusing your own investors, giving away your shares impulsively, you would be hard pressed to find people who will call you stable.

Is there any guarantee that Rahul won't retract this decision by next week? There isn't, and that is unstable behavior.

I still wonder if passing on Rahul's startup was a mistake.

Hey look at that Sundar Pichai fucked up again. How is this guy still CEO?

Of course not. He pontificates.

Also tangential: I find Balaji completely insufferable. His Twitter feed almost looks like that of a cult leader than of a CTO.


A lot of words to say 'I think it's ok to follow orders blindly and torch valuable technologies'. Gomes had principles, you and Raghavan do not.

Nice Rahul!


His hypocrisy is beyond baffling. "A billionaire is a bad word in this country now" - and you are doing exactly what to mitigate this? Become a professional Mister Beach Asshole (tm)? Just a lucky billionaire with a giant ego.

“Here’s the thing about Vinod,” Mr. Kaul said. “He just doesn’t care.”

Yes, we see it clearly.


> Why is this guy CEO?

"We need to be real thoughtful about this", followed by strictly no decision / action will be the hallmark of Sundar's tenure which I hope will end real soon.


I think this guy has an OCD, constantly trying to achieve publicity by using the "Yadav" image for marketing Housing.com. I just feel like this is another similar move, to re-establish his image after all those hatred going around him to the point that he was called the Rahul Gandhi in IT.

He could be X times more successful than me, I'm not going to waste time fighting that argument otherwise I eagerly want to hear out his argument for this move.


> He has taken up a new executive role at telecoms business Lycamobile.

Unbelievable. It’s impossible for people in this caste to fail.


Sundar is perfect example of an incompetent professional CEO who exceeds at schmoozing and company politics. He's even ex-McKinsey...

Works for managing large corps through "business-as-usual" peacetimes but as soon as change & innovation is needed it's a no-go.


This is a ridiculous judgment from someone who has barely a glimpse into someone else's life. You've extrapolated, from a mere association that you know virtually nothing about, that Aditya must be both stupid and selfish.

On a side note, didn't know about the whole Siraj Raval "controversy". I always found him shallow and more form over function, just stopped following him and didn't speak about it because everyone was raving over him. Looks like there was something after all...

Something is off if you think he’s an asshole and his users in India don’t.

That was a terrible comment from Anand Chandrasekher and shows fundamental lack of understanding. How did he become the CMO?

> there's been a PR campaign being set up to push out Sundar.

There has been mumblings of that for the whole time he has been CEO...


I don't know anything about what happened here, but I know Sunil is a good person and wouldn't have done this on a whim. Sometimes there are internal problems forcing painful decisions but you just can't go and tweet the details.

I know he is neither of these. What I am trying to say is that he is a spiritual thug and a shrewed businessman.

> he's the future of India.

I think you wrote it as a joke. Or may be I couldnt see him that way as I am not a member of Ramdev cult.


I posted the evidence above but you didn’t really engage with it much.

Do you think Aditya was acting in bad faith?
