Anil Sabharwal on innovating within Google

Anil Sabharwal, Vice President of Chrome, Comms and Photos at Google, explains how he created a ‘start-up’ within one of the world’s largest companies.

It’s raw, it’s real, it’s unKEMPt – a podcast for founders, investors and entrepreneurs hosted by Queensland Chief Entrepreneur Leanne Kemp, the founder and CEO of Everledger.

This week, Leanne talks to Anil Sabharwal, the man who led the creation and roll-out of Google Photos. Now based in Oz, Anil discusses how he has applied an entrepreneurial mindset to his work at Google; how Google Photos went from zero to a billion users in three-and-a-half years; and the crucial inflection point Australia finds itself at in terms of innovation.

Then, in this week’s Leannesplaining segment, Leanne dives deeper into the importance of ‘intrepreneurship’, and discusses the differences between leading your own company and innovating within someone else’s.

UnKEMPt is hosted by Leanne Kemp and produced by the Office of the Queensland Chief Entrepreneur and The Content Division. Like what you hear?
