Mr Pichai’s father Regunatha Pichai worked as an engineer in Chennai
Sundar Pichai, CEO Google
Chennai: It was quite an ordinary day at Jawahar Vidyalaya senior secondary school at Ashok Nagar here. The school ran by the clock on Tuesday morning, oblivious for quite sometime of the extraordinary achievement of one of its former students.
It was much later in the day that the fact sunk in —1987 alumni Sundararajan Pichai had been appointed Google’s CEO. Alice Jeevan, the school’s principal said, “Sundar studied here from class I to X and was one of the calm students we have seen. He was good at academics. We have been following his growth ever since he was appointed in a top post in Google a couple of months ago,” he said.
Mr Pichai’s father Regunatha Pichai worked as an engineer in the erstwhile General Electric Company in the city. Getting inspired from his father’s work in electrical and electronics, Mr Pichai turned to engineering.
