The chief executive of Google, Sundar Pichai, was summoned to a US court for the second time in two weeks on Tuesday to testify in an antitrust trial threatening to topple a pillar of an internet empire that he helped build.
At times, the soft-spoken Pichai looked nonplussed and frustrated by the confrontational questioning he faced. Other times he came across as a professor explaining complex subjects to the trial's 10-person jury located just a few feet from a podium Pichai was allowed to use because he has difficulty sitting for prolonged periods.
Pichai's latest testimony came 15 days after he travelled to Washington DC, to take the stand in a separate antitrust trial revolving around the Justice Department's allegations that Google has stifled competition and innovation by abusing the power of the dominant search engine that launched the company in 1998.
