Biography
Sundar Pichai is CEO of Google parent Alphabet, a position he has held since 2019, when he was tapped to replace Google cofounder Larry Page.
Pichai has worked at Google since 2004, reportedly interviewing for the job the same day Google launched Gmail. He became Google's CEO in 2015.
He holds around 0.02% of Alphabet and has sold more than $500 million worth of shares, before taxes.
Born in Chennai, India, Pichai grew up with limited access to technology but was always interested in how it can create community.
He said that in 1993, his father spent a year's salary on a plane ticket to California so Sundar could attend Stanford.
