Google recently held a strategy meeting where CEO Sundar Pichai and other top company executives shared their thoughts with the company employees. According to a report by CNBC, Pichai told employees that the new year will be critical for Google. “I think 2025 will be critical,” Pichai said. “I think it’s really important we internalize the urgency of this moment, and need to move faster as a company,” added Pichai.
He further said that the stakes are high. “These are disruptive moments. In 2025, we need to be relentlessly focused on unlocking the benefits of this technology and solve real user problems.”
The Google CEO told employees that building big and new business is a top priority. Google sees the Gemini app as its next one to reach half a billion users. “With the Gemini app, there is strong momentum, particularly over the last few months,” Pichai said. “But we have some work to do in 2025 to close the gap and establish a leadership position there as well.”
Pichai said that “scaling Gemini on the consumer side will be our biggest focus next year.”
Google is facing a host of antitrust cases across the world, with the biggest one in the US. Recently Japan also said that it would probe Google where as UK has also raised some objections. Pichai said that it’s not lost on him the kind of scrutiny Google is facing. “It comes with our size and success. It’s part of a broader trend where tech is now impacting society at scale. So more than ever, through this moment, we have to make sure we don’t get distracted,” he told employees.
According to the report, the meeting was attended by employees in person as well as virtually.
