Sundar Pichai

Google assembled a large cast of characters to unveil its new browser, Chrome, on Tuesday. Here's a who's who of some of the engineers and executives who took the stage at the company's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters.

Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, led off the show with Google's grand aspirations for Chrome: "Our intent here is to drive the Web platform forward," he said. In other words, Google wants the Internet to be a more powerful foundation for online applications.
