“We closed out 2024 with our first-ever Google-wide ugly sweater holiday contest last week. Gemini was the judge, and I have to say, it has good taste. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone for the fun end of the year,” Pichai wrote on Instagram.
Social media users quickly highlighted the nod to India’s love for cricket in Pichai’s outfit. Comments ranged from “Love your cricket sweater. The best sport in the world. If you don’t believe me, google it!” to “Never seen something like this before. Happy Holidays!”
