Sundar Pichai #BackOnCampus and 10 things he said in IIT- Kharagpur.

   Google CEO Sundar Pichai is in India. And just the way he did it last time when he was here in December 2015, he  again met young students of IIT-K. In his earlier trip Pichai interacted with students at Delhi University. But this time he chose to visit his alma mater IIT- Kharagpur.


Sunder Pichai graduated from the very same Institution way back in 1993.The Google Head was very cool,he talked about his time at the IIT-K, including how once he got C grade in one paper and discussed some of the success making tricks.He also talked about some funny incidents that  happened in IIT in his time.This event was live streamed Youtube with the Hashtag #BackOnCampus and so many people joined live with Google C.E.O.



    Here are 10 bits that made the day  from his interaction with the IIT-K students.

1. Pichai is from Chennai -South India so when he came to IIT- Kharagpur, he had some tough time with Hindi. "When I came to Kharagpur for the first time I thought abe saale was how people usually call each other. Once I shouted 'abe saale' in the mess and it basically caused the mess to shut down for a few days," he said.

2. While at IIT-Kharagpur, Pichai was among the more brilliant students but once he also got C grade in one paper, he told students, that grades doesn't decide they life.


3. He said that he really loves cricket. "I love cricket. It has been phenomenal to see Virat Kohli play. He has performed great in all forms of cricket, be it 50 overs, test or T20."

4. Pichai also likes Bollywood. "Deepika Padukone, you can call, is my favorite Indian actress right now. Back in college there were many."


5. He also said that "Digital market in India is still developing and that's where statups face trouble. In a country of 1.4 billion people only 300 million have smartphones. I advise startups to build for future if they want to compete with MNCs," 

6. Pichai really thought Gmail was an April Fool's Joke. But then the whole world did. "My interview at Google was on April 1st, April Fool's Day, so everyone thought what if it is a joke. And then we didn't know much about Google products and there was so less time to prepare. I hadn't had a chance to use it (Gmail in the beginning was an invite-only website), I thought it was an April fool's joke."


7. Pichai told students should also have grip on other skills such as knowing about environment etc. "It is important to develop other skills during a course like engineering".

8.  Pichai also said that sometimes bad grades make a way to work hard for the good grades. "I think I did get C sometime (when I was at IIT)... My first year CGP was so bad I had to work hard to make up for it for the next three years,".


9. And this is the most interesting thing He met his wife in IIT-K. "I met my wife Anjali at IIT Kharagpur, so whenever I asked a friend to call her, they would shout loudly Anjali, Sundar is here for you," he said.

10.  Pichai said students to follow their own dreams and not some others.He also told India should allow its students to take more risks. "Education system in India is made in such a way that students have to follow already set rules. I think it is more important to try different things and take more risks". 


Here I Conclude :
What so ever Mr.Sunder Pichai said to the students was absolutely a perfect pack of Success Tips and Tricks.So as he said, from now i wish each and every student should take risks in his/her life and try something different each day and lead their life happily.
