Meet Anjali, an IIT graduate, whose one advise helped her husband earn Rs 50000000 daily, her husband is..., idea was to...
Meet Anjali, an IIT graduate, whose one advise helped her husband earn Rs 50000000 daily, her husband is..., idea was to... Wife of Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai may not be in the limelight, but she has played a very important role in his journey to success. Anjali Pichai, known for her calm nature, sharp mind has always been by Sundar's side since their college days and through the challenges in Silicon Valley. Born as Anjali Haryani on January 11, 1971, in Rajasthan's Kota, she comes from a simple, middle-class family. Her father, Olaram Haryani, worked as a government employee and always motivated her to work hard and dream big. Anjali did just that and earned a place at IIT Kharagpur, one of India's top engineering colleges. There, she studied Chemical Engineering and quickly became known for being smart, focused, and hardworking. Meeting Sundar Pichai It was during her first year at IIT Kharagpur that Anjali met Sundar Pichai, who was studying Metallurgical Engineering at the time. What began as a friendship slowly turned into something more meaningful. The two connected through their love for learning and mutual respect. Later, Sundar often mentioned how IIT Kharagpur changed his life, not just because of his education, but because it's where he met Anjali. He once said, 'That's where I met my beloved wife, Anjali, and where I made memories of my second home.' From IIT Kharagpur to Silicon Valley After completing her Chemical Engineering degree at IIT Kharagpur, Anjali began her career as a business analyst at Accenture from 1999 to 2002. Later, she moved to the United States, where she joined Intuit, a company known for its financial software. There, she took on the role of Business Operations Manager. Despite working in a fast-moving, competitive field, Anjali has always kept a low profile, choosing to focus on her work, her family, and giving back to the community. Her estimated net worth is close to USD 100 million, and while she does benefit from Sundar's success, she's also financially independent in her own right. A decision that changed Google's future Anjali's support for Sundar has gone far beyond the personal. In the early 2000s, when Sundar was still climbing the ladder at Google, he was approached by several other major tech companies with big job offers. It was Anjali who encouraged him to stay at Google, believing that the company had more to offer. That one decision proved to be a turning point, not just for Sundar's career, but for the future of Google. He went on to lead products like Chrome and Android, and in 2015 became Google's CEO, later taking over Alphabet in 2019. In 2024, Sundar earned a compensation package of USD 280 million, but he continues to credit Anjali's quiet strength and guidance as one of the main reasons he got there. His daily income surpasses Rs 5 crore. Family life in California Anjali and Sundar got married on August 10, 2015, after years of knowing each other since college. They have two children, Kavya and Kiran, and live a relatively private life in Los Altos Hills, California. Despite their success and wealth, they've worked hard to stay grounded. They try to raise their children with simple values—things like managing screen time and teaching gratitude. Sundar has often spoken about his childhood in Chennai, where even getting a phone line or water required long waits. Giving back to where it all began Anjali and Sundar Pichai both believe in using their success to give others a chance. Together, they fund scholarships for students at IIT Kharagpur, the very place where they met and studied. These scholarships help underprivileged students get access to the kind of education that changed their own lives. They've also donated to Stanford University's Women in Engineering program, which helps encourage more women to enter STEM fields.

‘An act of sabotage is an act of terrorism against India': Gaurav Taneja says he'll ‘lose his mind' if this Air India 171 theory is true
YouTuber Gaurav Taneja, known as Flying Beast online, offered his detailed theory for what could've caused the recent Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad. On June 12, over 250 people died when a Boeing 787 crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad. Investigations are still ongoing. But in these last few days, Taneja has offered several comments on the case, beginning with his suggestion shortly after the tragedy that it seemed to be a rare case of 'dual engine failure'. He has since defended the pilots against questions about their competence, and has also raised concerns about airline safety standards in India. Before he became a content creator full time, Taneja graduated from IIT Kharagpur and served as a commercial pilot for a decade. In his new video, which runs at nearly an hour long, he laid out his reasons for suggesting that pilot error could have partially been the cause for the crash. This comes days after he said that the easiest thing to do for airlines is to blame the pilots, because they typically aren't alive to defend themselves after disasters of this magnitude. In the past, Taneja also blew the whistle on Air Asia, accusing the airline of slack safety protocols and dangerous KRAs for pilots. He was terminated from his job. Also read – Gaurav Taneja, aka Flying Beast, opens up on chance of pilot error in detailed analysis of Air India Flight 171 crash: 'May have killed the wrong engine' In his video, he dunked several theories around the Air India 171 crash, ruling out a bird strike, bad weather, or even a software malfunction. He suggested that the aircraft suffered a single-engine failure during takeoff, at a point when it was too late to abort. He also suggested that the aircraft was overloaded with cargo, which caused it to consume a larger than normal chunk of runway. Air India 171 crashed seconds after takeoff, when it dropped out of the sky after seemingly losing all lift and power. Experts have also indicated that the ram air turbine (RAT) was automatically deployed as a last-ditch measure, indicating all loss of power. Taneja said in the video, 'Fuel contamination is a wild theory. If this turns out to be true, I'll lose my mind. Let me tell you why this can't happen. On that day, several aircraft in Ahmedabad would've received fuel. The aircraft in question must've stood in the bay, it would've taxied to the runway, it took off. There must be some fuel leftover from its previous flight as well. The truck that fuelled this aircraft must've fuelled other aircraft as well.' He said that there are several checks and balances in place to prevent contaminated fuel from entering an aircraft. 'The fuel supplier checks the fuel first, airline engineers conduct checks as well. Fuelling trucks are so advanced these days, they also have the capability to check. If it finds that there is something wrong with the fuel, it will stop the fuelling process itself. It's all automatic, the aircraft handles everything itself. So now, if you tell me that the fuel was contaminated, it's an act of sabotage. It's an act of terrorism against the country. I don't want to believe this is true.'
