Pichai received a B Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and holds an MS in Engineering and Materials Science from Stanford University and an MBA from the Wharton School.

He had joined Google in 2004 as its vice president of product management, where he led the team working on Google's Chrome browser and operating system. His alma mater Wharton had also tweeted on his promotion.Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan posted on Twitter.
Pichai thanked Nadella, Cook and others who congratulated him on his promotion.

Pichai becomes only the third chief executive of the company after Schmidt and co-founder Larry Page.

Bret Taylor, co-creator of Google Maps, ex-CTO of Facebook and Co-Founder of technology Quip also congratulated Pichai, the first non-white CEO, on Twitter.

From Liverpool to Bangalore.

The day started to be amazing soon after entering to the best 5 star hotel of bangalore, JW Marriott. Such a nice place it is, be it the entrance, chandelier, the conference hall at its best. As always, Sujit sir rocked the introduction part. The hall was sparkled after the entry of the founder of Camp Leaders, Smaller Earth and World Merit*, none other than Sir Chris Arnold. In spite of coming from a normal background, beating all the odds, experiencing the many tragedies in life, he didn't complain his situations. He was exceptionally well as a student. His father was very supportive to him. It was his teacher Mary Wilson who made a huge impact on his life. At the age of 16, she made him to plan for his future.

The dark side of the sachin superfan

Adelaide. Melbourne. Perth. Hamilton. Auckland. He’s everywhere the Indian team plays.  Yet, he has no source of income.  He’s a frequent visitor at Sachin Tendulkar’s plush Bandra residence, often sharing a meal with India’s most wanted.  Yet, he can’t remember when last he spoke to his father.  He carries a power bank to ensure his smartphone is never out of juice, you never know who might call.  Yet, he never picks up when his only sister calls.  Meet Sudhir Kumar Chaudhry, also known as Sudhir Gautam, the instantly recognisable Indian superfan.  You know him because it seems no India match actually begins till he blows his conch. You know him because no Indian century celebration is complete without him waving the tricolour as if his life depended on it. You know him because he was on the balcony of the Wankhede Stadium in the wee hours of April 2, 2011, holding aloft the World Cup trophy with Tendulkar. You know him because he is in advertisements, on the radio, in newspapers
