Google sees pockets growing at a fast clip: Country head Preeti Lobana

Macroeconomic uncertainties and a consumption slowdown may have had some impact on business, but Google continues to be “very bullish” on India and there are pockets which are growing at a fast clip, Google India country manager Preeti Lobana said Tuesday.

Sectors that are growing exponentially include gaming, edtech, ecommerce and quick commerce, Lobana said in her first media interview after taking over as the tech giant’s top India executive. She took over the role in January from Sanjay Gupta, who was promoted to Google’s president for the Asia-Pacific region.
