When it didn't come through in time, he withdrew $1,000 from the family's savings β more than his annual salary. "My dad and mom did what a lot of parents did at the time," Pichai says. "They sacrificed a lot of their life and used a lot of their disposable income to make sure their children were educated."
Upon arriving at Stanford in 1993, he tried to buy a new backpack and "was in an absolute state of shock" to learn it cost $60. He later bought a used one on an online bulletin board. Pichai planned to get a Ph.D. at Stanford and pursue an academic , but he briefly panicked his parents by dropping out to work as an engineer and product manager at Applied Materials, a Silicon Valley semiconductor maker. He, however, got an MBA from Wharton School of Business in 2002 and did a stint at as a consultant.

Indeed, Pichai has to work hard to congregate the expectations of investors, founders, and users.
After being named as Google CEO, Sundar Pichai said, βIf I am busy doing something, I worry less or even donβt hassle about what information is coming or how important is, as the work that I do in fact matter for me. Or what if I am spare, I love my smartphone to yell. This is what I do think, and my philosophy of doing work and living life. As a business leader what really matters for me is to serve up the users with the right approach. And to do so, at times business leaders require getting out of the routine or comfort.β

Page also said, initially the idea behind the chrome was not welcomed by many, and questions were raised that why do we require an additional browser. But see, at present chrome has millions of content users.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Pichai emphasis thinking big about big problems and one should be ambitious in tackling every problem and that is what would lead you to success.
