REVEALED: Google CEO Sundar Pichai boasted about calling the prime minister of India to tell him of "our largest ever AI investment outside the US, a $15 billion, one gigawatt plus data center" “The chance to transform a region like that with that kind of investment, it really meant a lot to be able to call the prime minister, who really cares about developing the country.” He made the statement at a Salesforce conference in 2025. Discussing the investment, Pichai recalled how, as a child, he “used to take this train through the south of India” in a town called Visakhapatnam. The audience at the conference cheered upon hearing the town’s name. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff commented that it “sounded like there's a lot of folks here from India” and asked the audience to “stand up if you're from India”. Dozens rose from their seats applauding. Since 2020, Google and Salesforce alone have accounted for nearly 50,000 H-1B visa approvals.
