Pichai announced (via 9to5Google) the development regarding the Google I/O during the Alphabet Q1 2021 Earnings Call, earlier this week. He also spoke about Alphabet’s aid to Indian bodies to tackle the COVID-19 crisis.

We’ve continued our focus on delivering trusted services to help people around the world. Our Cloud services are helping businesses, big and small, accelerate their digital transformations," Pichai said in the Q1 2021 results. YouTube‘s ad revenue has been up at $6 billion versus $4.03 billion a year ago, and Cloud storage services also posted a growth ($4.05 billion versus $2.78 billion last year).
