In this episode, we profile Sundar Pichai, the Indian-American executive currently serving as the CEO of both Google and its parent company, Alphabet Inc.. We trace his journey from his early life in a Tamil Hindu family in Madurai, India, to his education at IIT Kharagpur, Stanford, and the Wharton School.

Tune in to learn how a former materials engineer joined Google in 2004 and rapidly rose through the ranks by leading the development of key products like Google Chrome, ChromeOS, and Google Drive. We discuss his pivotal appointment as Google CEO in 2015 and his later elevation to Alphabet CEO in 2019. Finally, we examine the complexities of his tenure, from receiving the Padma Bhushan and appearing on the Time 100 list to navigating high-stakes controversies, including congressional hearings on privacy, internal debates over diversity, and employee unrest regarding layoffs and corporate contracts.
