Immigration crackdown may affect Google’s future plans

Google’s Indian-origin chief Sundar Pichai said the global tech giant remains committed to Britain and will go ahead with a new 1 bn-pound London headquarters that will create 3,000 jobs by 2020, but warned that post-Brexit crackdown on immigration could affect future plans.

“Here in the UK, it’s clear to me that computer science has a great future with the talent, educational institutions, and passion for innovation we see all around us,” he told BBC during his first visit to the UK as Google’s chief executive.

“We are committed to the UK and excited to continue our investment in our new King’s Cross campus,” he said. Pichai’s remarks will be a big boost to British economy after the June referendum in favour of the UK leaving the European Union. But Pichai did warn that the UK government’s expected post-Brexit crackdown on immigration could affect Google’s future plans. 

“In our experience as a company, when we have been able to bring people together and operate in an open and connected way it achieves tremendous impact over time. Those are the values we cherish,” he said.
