[@EthicalHacker-ie4db]

He was not poor by any means. I am from the same city where he is from. Both his parents worked in a respectful jobs. He was from a middle class, south indian family. By Indian standards, he was doing much better than a big population back then!!!

[@lmaomoofeq2505]

thats probably upper middle class for the time.

[@tomjoseph7243]

The term “respectable job” is not politically correct. Each job holds its own significance, whether it involves teaching or daily wage labor.

[@hayonimengi4171]

Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Outliers" says as much. Of course, he did not grow up poor. If he did, he would not be where he is. The one thing that is normally left out in these stories is that these people grow up in very able communities and are hardly what you would define as poor or paupers or have nothings! That is a fact.

[@tomjoseph7243]

@@hayonimengi4171 Westerners tend to evaluate everything based on their socio-economic status, often overlooking the economic disparities in developing countries. Consequently, someone earning $1000 a month in India might be considered impoverished from their standpoint. However, this perspective doesn't hold true.

[@unnamedownerofgoogle]

I am wondering of this the one from Murfreesboro TN

[@Better_Call_Bulba-Saur]

I wished they focused more on the struggles he went through and how he overcame them. This vid made it seem like he just got continuously lucky until he reached the top. I mean, his biggest obstacles in this vid are that bags in America are expensive and he had to ask twice to get Chrome rolled out.

[@marionobumba4711]

This is funny!😅😅

[@matth8924]

That’s because being successful is about more than just working hard. You also need to be lucky. If he wouldn’t have gotten the scholarship to stanford, he would have never become the CEO of google. Hard work creates opportunities, but you also need to be in the right place at the right time. Its very hard to win at poker without being dealt good cards, and its very hard to climb into the C suite.

[@djrandomwalker7656]

@@matth8924 true, he did metallurgy at IIT, which is not a top-ranking course, so he wasn't the genius bunch of IIT. He might have faced tough competition, had he applied for computer science at Stanford. Since not many takers in metallurgy in india, he was able to get admission to stanford.. so yes he was hardworking as he went to IIT and Stanford and ended up at Goolge, but defn a little bit of luck was involved.

[@salaam8927]

You can't have benefits by knowing about problems of successful people, you have to go, try and let your own problems come out and then use your mind to solve them your way

[@aarchi89]

As an Indian I had no idea he was directly responsible for the creation of Google Chrome

[@YouCantHandleTheTruth.]

No he did NOT. Chrome was created by a bunch of Mozilla developers under Schmidt and then (after) Sundar took over his (Eric Schmidt's) position. I know how Indians like to boasts about everything that doesn't belong to them. I've worked with enough here in the states to know.

[@muralinarasimhan3863]

There are many in late 80s and early 90s who got admission to us and couldn’t go because of unavailability of money including myself. Sundar was not poor by any stretch..

[@devasiamunjely]

I couldn't afford it in 1978 when the cost was 3000 pounds per year, otherwise my story would have been different.

[@_An_Indian]

Hi, I am from India. There used to be 5 IITs located at 5 different places when MR. Sundar Pichai was graduating. IIT Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Delhi, and Kanpur. The main building of the IIT that you have shown here is IIT, Delhi. But Mr Pichai has graduated from IIT, Kharagpur.

[@ujjyaini332]

Yes his dad didn't own emerald mines but Pichai was hardly what we call poor He was from a middle class background. That's not poor.

[@sujatadas5148]

His parents were Indian government employees with good middle class values and income that most of us Indians have grown up with and most successful people like us have gone through very similar journeys. Most of us are successful in foreign countries. Some of course are extremely successful like Sundar, Jai Chowdhary, Narayan Krishnamurthy, etc. That’s why indian migrants are highly focussed and successful because of the strong values, intellectual humility and hard work which lifts the economy of the countries they migrate to.

don't look at salary earned in India in dollar terms!! It will always be less. For the Indian economy in 1980s and 1990s, it was a very decent salary and both his parents were earning. They belong to a middle class South Indian family. I belong to the same city. I know very well about his economic situation and situation of the country in general back in 1980s and 1990s. He was in no means poor as projected here.
