Sundar pichai follow passions

Take risks, follow passions: Sundar Pichai

KHARAGPUR: Nearly 25 years ago, he was here as a student, pursuing a BTech in metallurgy. On Thursday, he went back to his alma mater as an old boy... and CEO of Google.

Sundar Pichai left IIT Kharagpur in 1993. When he came back, students staying at the B wing on the third floor of Nehru Hall, Pichai's hostel, relived the Google CEO's college days as he remembered his "wingies" (wing mates) and visited his old room: room B 308.

Pichai arrived at the hostel on Thursday to find the eight residents of the wing waiting for him. The student who now lives in his old room, however, was still not back from vacation. "Nehru ka tempo high hai," the boarders cheered. As a former boarder of the hostel, the words must have been familiar. He went up to the third floor, where Harsheel Singh from room B 309, along with seven other wing mates, met him in front of his old room.

"He asked us what we are studying. I said I'm in the fifth year of the dual degree programme in biotechnology. He then joked with us that he remembered the innumerable times he had a shattered window pane, the cricket pitch being right behind the B block. We told him that it doesn't happen much now, as there is a cricket net," Harsheel said
