IITs across India have given some of the finest engineers to the world and a few of them are now leading the top tech companies in the world. Thousands of students graduate from IITs every year with massive salary packages. The highest paid Indian employee in the world is an IIT pass out and surprisingly, his wife is also an IIT alumnus. The IIT graduate wife of the top executive we are talking about is Anjali Pichai, who is the wife of Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai. Sundar Pichai is currently one of Apple’s biggest rivals as he leads Google and Android. Sundar Pichai’s annual salary package in 2022 was a whopping Rs 1869 crore, making him the highest paid Indian employee and his wife Anjali Pichai played a significant role in his journey to achieve this milestone.
Native to Rajasthan’s Kota Anjali Pichai met Sundar Pichai in IIT Kharagpur while she was pursuing her graduation in chemical engineering. After graduating from IIT, she got placed at Accenture. After working at the company for three years, she moved to Intuit. Currently, Anjali Pichai is working as a Business Operation Manager in that frim.
Sunar Pichai has credited Anjali Pichai for his current position at Google as the executive got job offers from Twitter and Yahoo. However, his wife asked him to stay at Google. After Sundar moved to the US, the couple stayed apart for months without talking as they couldn’t afford long distance calls at that time.
Reports suggest that many companies have tried to rope in Pichai but his wife Anjali has advised him against leaving Google. Sundar and Anjali are now parents to two kids Kavya and Kiran.
