Meet woman, an Indian, whose once suggestion changed her husband’s life forever, made him highest paid Indian CEO, his name is…,
Everyone knows Sundar Pichai as the CEO of Google, but not many people are aware of the quiet strength behind his success—his wife, Anjali Pichai. One important piece of advice from her played a big role in changing the course of Sundar’s career. Anjali was born in Rajasthan, India, and she studied Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, graduating in 1993. It was during their time at IIT that Anjali met Sundar. What started as a friendship slowly turned into a lifelong bond.
Anjali began her career as a business analyst at Accenture, where she worked for three years before moving to the United States. She later moved to Intuit, a leading financial software company, where she currently holds a key management role.
Anjali stood by Sundar through all the ups and downs. When Sundar moved to the United States for higher studies, the two had to maintain a long-distance relationship for a while. Despite the distance and challenges, Anjali never lost faith in him.
She began her own career as a business analyst at Accenture, where she worked for three years. Later, she moved to the US and joined the financial software company Intuit, where she continues to work today.
Anjali’s advice that changed everything
One important piece of advice from Anjali Pichai completely changed Sundar Pichai’s life. While working at Google, Sundar received multiple job offers from top tech giants—including Microsoft. It was a tough decision, but Anjali encouraged him to stay with Google. That one decision turned out to be a major turning point in his career.
Today, Sundar Pichai is not only the CEO of Google and Alphabet, but also one of the highest-paid Indian-origin CEOs in the U.S. His estimated net worth is around USD 1.3 billion (approximately Rs. 10,800 crore).
Sundar and Anjali live in Los Altos Hills, California, with their two children, Kavya and Kiran. In recognition of her achievements and contribution, IIT Kharagpur honored Anjali in 2023 with the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
Anjali and Sundar Pichai’s net worth
Anjali Pichai’s net worth is estimated to be around 100 million US dollars, which is roughly Rs. 830 crore in Indian currency. On the other hand, her husband Sundar Pichai has a net worth of about 1.3 billion US dollars, or nearly Rs. 10,800 crore. Sundar is not just incredibly successful—he’s also one of the highest-paid CEOs in the world. The couple reportedly own a Mercedes-Maybach S650 worth Rs. 3.21 crore.
