Google is an integral part of any startup and business. With Chrome, you can embrace the web. With Android, you can embrace the app ecosystem. With Assistant, you can unlock the potential of voice and get the next half billion users under the fold.

Join us to unlock the potential of technology to scale your business.

Meetup on 29th – Google I/O and Cloud Next

This month, GBG Mumbai brings you a meet up where speakers are people who attended Cloud Next and Google I/O and presenting you the things that matter – Cloud, Android, Voice, Audio & Podcasts, Web, AMP, PWA and more.
