Sundar comes to the
realisation after Kermit the frog says, “Sundar, I
think you are on mute. Wow, can’t believe I am talking to the CEO of Google,

Following the realisation that he had made a
mistake Sundar apologises like a gentleman and says, “Sorry Kermit. I was on
mute, and I’ve done it a few times this year like everyone else. I’m huge fan
of you and the muppets,”
