Google executive Sundar Pichai confirmed that though the company may merge Android and Chrome in the future, there's no chance of it happening anytime soon.

Google executive Sundar Pichai is in charge of overseeing two major operating systems of Google - Android and Chrome. In a recent interview with Wired, Pichai expressed his excitement at being in charge of these two operating systems at a time when both of them are doing well and looking to grow in the future.

Recent rumors about a potential merger of Android and Chrome have been doing the rounds and gained momentum when Android founder and former SVP Andy Rubin stepped down. However, Pichai says that through the company may plan to merge both operating systems in the future, it won't be any time soon.

As of now, the company is dedicated to building and expanding the two operating systems as individual entities. Addressing the common criticism Google has received for having two operating systems, which could get a bit confusing for users, Pichai says that users generally care about services and applications and don't really bother on which operating system it is.

"Very few people will ask you, 'Hey, how come MacBooks are on Mac OS-X and iPhone and iPad are on iOS? Why is this?' They think of Apple as iTunes, iCloud, iPhoto. Developers are people, too. They want to write applications one time, but they also want choice," says Pichai. "At Google we ask how to bring together something seamless and beautiful and intuitive across all these screens. The picture may look different a year or two from now, but in the short term, we have Android and we have Chrome, and we are not changing course."

Pichai says that in the future, the need to merge both operating system platforms may arise but for now, it seems infeasible to take up such a massive task.
