Was a Senior Electrical Engineer. His mother Laxmi Pichai used to work as a stenographer. But he quit this job after the birth of Pichai's younger brother.

 

His childhood was spent in Ashok Nagar area of ​​Chennai. His family of four lived in a small two-room house there. His father's income was limited, due to which his standard of living was normal. They did not have any means of comfort like TV, fridge, car. His father used to emphasize the education of his children more than the means of amenities.

 

When Pichai was 12, his father installed the first dialer phone at his home. This was the first technology-related item that Pichai saw at his home.

Login to google

 

On 1 April 2004 Sundar Pichai went to give his interview at Google. The same day the company launched the Testing Version of Gmail. The interviewee asked him some questions regarding Gmail.

But when he was asked to use Gmail, then he could put his ideas openly in front of them. Interviewers were so impressed by his ideas that he was immediately placed on the job. His initial responsibilities at Google were related to Google Toolbar and Search.

 

Google Chrome Project

 

When Sundar Pichai started working at Google, the Google Toolbar and Search Engine used to be the default option in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

 

One day he got the idea that Google should make its own web browser because if someday Microsoft develops its own search engine and sets it the default option in Internet Explorer, then Google will move away from there permanently. When he presented his proposal to CEO Eric Schmidt, he refused to approve it, calling it a costly project. But Pichai persevered and convinced Google's co-creators, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, to get Google Chrome's project approved in 2006.

 

After 6 months of approve Google Chrome, the same thing happened, which Pichai suspected. On October 18, 2006, suddenly Microsoft removed Bing from Internet Explorer and set Bing to be its default search engine. Google used to get millions of traffic daily from Internet Explorer and earned millions every day. This was a major setback for Google.

 

But this situation was already realized by Pichai. So, in 24 hours, along with his team, he discovered Internet Explorer's loop-hole. Due to which people who had moved on Bing, in the front of a pop-up window, Google started to have the option to set their default search engine again. In this way they retained 60 percent of Google's users back. After this setback by Microsoft, Google took the strategic move and signed a deal with HP and all the big computer distributors that they will give option default related to Google Toolbar and its search on their PC.
