ã€World Wide Web Reporter Zhang Zhiying】 The British Guardian interviewed Sundar Pichai, a low-key Google CEO, for a rare interview. He also said in interviews that he rarely interviews. Indeed, Pichai is almost the lowest level compared to Google's co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, or former CEO Eric Schmidt. Adjust the modest leader.
Pichai grew up in Chennai, southeast of India. He said, “It takes 10 minutes to make a phone call to the hospital. Then we have to take the bus for an hour and 20 minutes. When I arrive at the hospital, I have to queue for another hour. Finally, I might end up emptying because the hospital is not ready. ."
Five years later, their family finally had the first rotary telephone, and Pichai faced a turning point in life. He was now 12 years old. He said, “In addition to the phone, after waiting a long time, we have a refrigerator. I saw how my mother’s life has undergone a change: she no longer needs to cook every day, and spends more time with us. I I have witnessed how technology has brought about change, and I still feel its power so far. I am optimistic and full of energy. I feel morally necessary to improve the technological progress.â€
Pichai was born in a middle-class family in India and lives in a two-bedroom apartment. Mom is a stenographer. Dad is an electronic engineer. He also has a younger brother. Their family does not have a car, and sometimes they will travel together in a family car battery.
Sanat Kumar Roy, a professor who taught Pichai for four years in India, believes that Pichai is very shy, but he is always confident and determined. He graduated in 1993 and received a scholarship from the Stanford Master Class. His father, who earned 3,000 yuan a month, took out his entire year's savings, allowing Pichai to buy a ticket to San Francisco.
“When I landed, the host family drove me on the road and I said it was 'brown'. She corrected me: 'California is gold, not brown'.†Pichai recalled that coming to the United States allowed him to experience cultural shock.
When Pichai first came into contact with a computer, he did not understand the Internet. “These are very different for me. I was a little confused, but I feel that Silicon Valley is a special place. People will take my thoughts seriously, not because of who I am or where they come from. This is in the United States. We take it for granted, but it is a very impressive part."
After graduating from Stanford's Masters, before joining Google in 2004, Sundar Pichai also worked at McKinsey and continued to study for the MBA.
At Google, Sundar Pichai won his status through two major projects. The first is the popular Chome browser. The initial experimental phase began with his 10-person development team. No one at the time wanted to challenge the powerful forces of Microsoft's IE. "Most people here don't want us to be browsers, so we're very low-key and when we're done and start running, I remember showing it to Google. When Larry Page and Sergey Brin, there was still a lot of doubting ideas.†However, the Chrome browser launched in 2008, according to NetMarketShare's data points out, its market share so far has been nearly 60%, while only IE The next 16%.

Now in India, Pichai has become famous. No matter where he goes, the crowd is always flocking. His story became a dream envied by every family: earnestly working hard can get huge returns. The Guardian believes that such popularity may excite his desire to return to politics, but Pichai said that he is not good at politics at all, but he does hope to return to India to contribute his own strengths.
