Sundar Pichai discusses Google’s future with Google Wallet, Google Plus, and the Chinese market

Sundar_Pichai_7885Sundar Pichai, Google's senior VP of products, was recently interviewed by Forbes about the direction the company is taking in key areas. He discussed Google Wallet, how Google plans to utilize Android in the Chinese market, and where Google's own social network was heading. It was a pretty interesting interview that shed some light on some of Google's intentions and more or less confirmed some rumors we've been hearing.


When it came to Google Wallet, Pichai said he was pleased with Google Wallet, but he said that the company needed to figure out how to get those mobile payments functional on as many points of sale as possible. This definitely suggests that Android Pay will make an appearance at Google I/O this year, as that's exactly what it's designed to do.


When asked about Google+, Pichai noted that Google had already split G+ up using Hangouts and Photos, but Google was looking into bringing the Google+ Stream into its own, further splitting up the different products. That's a departure from how the social network started, but it keeps in line with how the company has handled it recently.


China is an odd topic for Google, mainly because of how hard it is for the company to remain successful there. Android is already fairly prevalent, but Google misses a big chunk of revenue from China because of the distinct lack of Google services on many Android handsets sold in the country. Pichai didn't have any concrete answers on how to turn that around, but he did say Google sees China as a huge opportunity for growth and it was something they were very serious about staying on top of.
