Google vice-president Caesar Sengupta to step down after a 15-year stint at the company. His last day will be April 30. He joined the company in 2006.
“After 15 wonderful years at Google, I have decided to venture out and start on a new mission. I remain very positive about Google’s future but it’s time for me to see if I can ride without training wheels,” Sengupta said in a post on LinkedIn.
“I leave Google, heart full of gratitude, joy and many many deep friendships. Am uncomfortably excited about the future. Wish me luck!”
“My time at Google has never been a job for me, and I’ve been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to start and work on products that have positively impacted millions of people’s everyday lives,” he added.
In his role as Google Vice President, Sengupta led the company’s efforts in digital payments and its next billion users initiative, as part of which it has rolled out several products for new Internet users in emerging markets like India.
Sengupta had spearheaded the launch of Google Pay (then Google Tez) in 2015, which has emerged as the second most used UPI app in the country after PhonePe. Earlier this month, the app also updated its India policy to give Google Pay users increased control over their transaction data.
