 Krishna Bharat volunteered to be the direct for the engineering office in India and later he created Google News in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. (Retrieved from http://www.niemanlab.org/riptide/person/krishna-bharat/ )

Bharat work on a Hilltop algorithm, called connectivity analysis, into Google’s search engine and it would be Google’s first patent,  (Levy, p.112).

Krishna Bharat, was the originator of Google News (developed in the 20% project). 

"Google News aggregates real time news content from news sources around the world, generating 72 editions in 55 languages, and powering Google's news search. In total these services deliver over 10B clicks to publishers monthly. In 2004, he started Google's engineering center in Bangalore and served as the center's first head."

Bharat was a search engineer interested in research and joined Google improving his original Hilltop algorithm ( identifies expert sites ) to develop web connectivity analysis. He also recruited other computer scientists to join Google.

Krishna Bharat was the creator of Google News, and two of Google's algorithms, the Hilltop algorithm, which is similar to PageRank but only considers 'expert sources' for links, and the LocalRank algorithm which is based on interconnectivity of similar links.
