How and why Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s ‘not-so-happy’ decision is Netflix

Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed that one of his company’s most significant missed opportunities was failing to acquire streaming giant Netflix after “super intense” internal debates, according to statements made during a recent All-In Podcast interview.

Pichai, who has led Google since 2015, stopped short of calling the decision a regret but acknowledged it as a path not taken that still occupies his thoughts. “We debated Netflix at some point, super intensely inside,” Pichai said when asked about decisions he might reconsider.
