Soon after the announcement of Mr Pichai as the new CEO at Google, congratulatory messages started pouring in for the 43-year-old Mr Pichai, who was previously in-charge of product and engineering for Google's Internet businesses.
Mr Pichai received a B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and holds a Master of Science in Engineering and Materials Science from Stanford University and an MBA from the Wharton School.
Mr Pichai joins a gradually growing list of Indian-origin technology and business executives working their way up to head multi-billion dollar worth American giants.
There are many other Indians heading the businesses at relatively smaller companies abroad, especially in IT sector, but at least 12 large companies have got India-born chief executives.
These include Microsoft (Satya Nadella), PepsiCo (Indra Nooyi), ArcelorMittal (Lakshmi Mittal), Diageo (Ivan Menezes), Reckitt Benckiser (Rakesh Kapoor), MasterCard (Ajay Banga), DBS Group Holdings (Piyush Gupta), SanDisk (Sanjay Mehrotra), Global Foundries (Sanjay Jha), Cognizant (Francisco Dsouza) and Adobe (Shantanu Narayen).
