Sundar Pichai Joins Google's 'Ugly Sweater' Contest

To kick off the holiday season, Google hosted an 'Ugly Sweater' contest for its employees, and none other than Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and Alphabet, joined in on the fun.

Pichai took to social media to share the photos of the event, where his sweater made a wave for its distinctly Indian connection.

While some of the participants chose extravagant fashions, Pichai's pick was subtle yet distinctive. He wore a black pullover with cricket bats, a cricket ball, and Christmas trees, a tribute to India's long-standing love affair with cricket.

"We closed out 2024 with our first-ever Google-wide ugly sweater holiday contest last week. Gemini was the judge, and I have to say, it has good taste:) Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone for the fun end to the year," the caption of the post reads.

Pichai's participation in the contest was welcomed with delight by Google employees and fans alike, who praised his willingness to poke fun at himself and get into the holiday spirit with everyone else.
