“Google is now at the forefront of an exciting new age of technology with AI. I shall look forward to following the progress, but happily now pass on the baton to my friend and colleague Sanjay Gupta,” Beaumont stated in a LinkedIn post on 24 July.
“Since our first meeting five years ago, I have seen Sanjay’s drive to think ambitiously about how technology can be a power for good in the development of his home country: India. He now has the opportunity to pursue that same calling more broadly across Asia Pacific,” he added.
Gupta joined Google in January 2020 as the Country Manager for India market and also holds the position of Vice President – Sales and Operations for India.
