Sundar Pichai Celebrates Halloween with a Creative Costume at Google's "Howl-o-ween" Bash

In a festive spirit, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai showcased his Halloween cheer by sharing photos from Google's annual celebration dubbed "Howl-o-ween" on his official Instagram account. The event featured an array of adorable "Dooglers"—dogs in costumes that added a whimsical touch to the festivities. Among the highlights was Pichai himself, donning a playful outfit adorned with the phrase "Error 404: Costume Not Found," which cleverly encapsulated his light-hearted approach to the occasion.

Accompanying the images, Pichai's caption read, "Scary cute Dooglers in costume, sea creatures at TGIF… it must be Googleween!" This celebration exemplified Google's distinctive take on Halloween, merging traditional festivities with the company's creative flair and emphasis on employee engagement.

Earlier, just before the Halloween festivities, Pichai extended warm Diwali greetings on his Threads account, expressing his fondness for the festival of lights. He posted, "Diwali is one of my favourite times of the year… always fun to fill the house with light. Wish those who celebrate a Happy Diwali," reflecting the significance of family and togetherness during this vibrant celebration.

In a similar vein, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg joined in the Halloween spirit, sharing pictures on Facebook of his family's costumes. He chose to embody the character John Wick, from the well-known Keanu Reeves film series. "When your house full of girls decides to be ballerinas, be John Wick," he humorously noted, as his wife Priscilla Chan and their daughters donned colorful ballerina outfits.

Halloween is a widely celebrated occasion, particularly in Western cultures, where both children and adults partake in various activities. From trick-or-treating in creative costumes to adult costume parties, the holiday fosters community spirit and creativity through traditions like carved pumpkins and scary movie marathons.
