Who was appointed as the new Country Manager of Google India in November 2019?

CONCEPT

For current-affairs appointment questions, first fix the organisation, role, and time frame from reliable reports.

The answer must be the person explicitly named for that role, not merely a well-known person connected with the organisation.

APPLICATION

Here the organisation is Google India and the role is Country Manager, also reported with the Vice President, Sales and Operations responsibility for India.

Multiple November 2019 appointment reports named Sanjay Gupta, formerly associated with Star and Disney India, for that Google India role.

CONTRAST

• Sundar Pichai is associated with Google at the global leadership level, so that name does not match this India country-manager appointment.

• Rajiv Kumar is not the person named in Google India appointment reports for this role.

• S.K. Sharma is also not the person named in the appointment reports for this role.

• Sanjay Gupta matches the person named for Google India Country Manager and VP, Sales and Operations.

CROSS-CHECK

The checked reports agree on the same name and describe the same Google India role, so the supported answer is Sanjay Gupta.
