3,000 disadvantaged kids to get free coding lessons from Google

Singapore

GOOGLE sees a "tremendous opportunity" to grow its business in Singapore and to showcase the city-state as a centre for innovation, according to a top official of the California-based tech giant.

Speaking to The Business Times, Caesar Sengupta, Google's vice-president for the Next Billion Users team, added that this was one of the reasons the company had set up a new engineering group here earlier this year to lead product development for the region.
