 |
| Sunder Pichai Google's CEO |
The success story of sundar pichai has been exceptional, to say the least. From being born in a middle-class Brahmin family and living most of the teen life in a two-room apartment, this man has achieved it all with his hard work and dedication.
EARLY LIFE & EDUCATION OF SUNDAR PICHAI
The real name of sundar pichai is " SUNDARARAJAN PICHAI". He was born in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
His mother’s name was Lakshmi, she worked as a stenographer and his father, Regunatha Pichai was working as an electrical engineer with a company at GEC. Sundar was living in a two-room apartment in Chennai in his childhood days.
Mr. Pichai studied and got a degree with an ease due to his high excellence from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in Metallurgical Engineering. His schooling was done in Jawahar Vidyalaya, a Central Board of Secondary Education school in Ashok Nagar, Chennai. Vana Vani school was the place from which Sundar completed his Class XII. Also not to forget that during his student life he received many prestigious awards.
His qualifications also include an M.S from Stanford University in Material Sciences and Engineering. MBA degree is also held by Mr.Pichai which he received from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was named a Siebel Scholar
As we already know that he belonged to a middle-class family and flying to the United States is a very costly affair (especially for a middle-class man) as a result his father had to withdraw more than his annual salary.
Only very few people know that due the fact that what a kind of scholar he was his professors at IIT wanted and advised him to pursue his Ph.D. at Stanford University, however, he wanted an took another alternative that was pursuing his MS from University in Material Sciences and Engineering.
His very first job was of an engineer at Applied Materials after which he joined GOOGLE as Sr. Vice President – Product Management in the year 2004.
PICHAI AFTER JOINING GOOGLE
As mentioned earlier that Pichai joined GOOGLE in 2004 and was privileged to get a chance on working for very popular and successful Google products like Toolbar (which increased user searches and also acted as a reason for the introduction of Google Chrome, Google’s very own browser)
He has also contributed to some other products like he also has worked on other products Google Gears and Google Pack before starting working on Google Chrome.
He has also worked an led the area of product management and development and found Google’s client software.
Pichai has also been working as VP of product development in the year 2008, and after introducing Chrome, it was followed by Chrome OS in 2009.
His caliber and growth were at such a fast pace that he was Senior VP of Chrome and apps by 2012.
But we can easily state that he majorly came into the limelight at Google presentations from 2008 and as a result became a very well-known face of Google
In the year 2015, Larry Page announced Pichai to be the Product Chief at Google And finally the big news came in the year later when MR. Sundar Pichai was declared to be the new CEO of Google because Larry Page had decided to retire from Google and take up the responsibilities at Alphabet, Inc. their new holding company.
He has been a source of great motivation and pride especially for Indian’s after becoming the CEO of the world’s best company, but a very few people know that he was also considered a very promising name for the post of Microsoft‘s new CEO, a job that ultimately went to Satya Nadellawho is also an Indian.
