In his earlier visit in December last year, Pichai had detailed how Google was working to bring more Indians online. He had talked about the company's partnership with RailTel, which is now powering free Wi-Fi for 100 Indian railway stations. He also talked about the bicycle project that was giving Indians in villages and towns first taste of internet.
This time around, however, the focus is going to be how Google is partnering with small and medium business enterprises to help them in their digital operations.
