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.

I wanted to replicate what Sundar did for the national team: Sai Sudharsan
B Sai Sudharsan, the elegant left-hander from Tamil Nadu, is set to achieve a long-cherished dream when he makes his Test debut for India in the upcoming series against England at Leeds on June 20. As he prepares for this milestone moment, Sudharsan credits a large part of his motivation and ambition to fellow Chennai cricketer Washington Sundar, whose rapid rise from age-group cricket to the senior Indian team left a lasting impression on him. Watching someone from his own city succeed at the international level gave Sudharsan the belief that he, too, could follow the same path with enough dedication and hard work. Washington's rise sparked belief in Chennai cricket circles Back in 2016, Washington Sundar represented India in the U-19 World Cup primarily as a batter. Within a year and a half, he was playing international cricket as a teenager. His Test debut in 2021, during the iconic Border-Gavaskar series, and his match-winning performances at just 20 years of age served as a turning point in Sudharsan's mindset. The left-hander, who is two years younger than Sundar, recalled watching his senior's rapid ascent and feeling deeply inspired. Sudharsan said he had played against Washington in age-group matches and admired the pace at which he moved up the ladder. Seeing someone he had shared the field with wear the India jersey sparked a strong desire to walk the same road. Motivation born from familiarity and friendship The fact that both cricketers hail from Chennai only deepened the connection. According to Sudharsan, knowing Washington personally and observing his journey up close made the goal of representing India seem tangible. He often visualised himself replicating that journey, striving to emulate the same path to the top. Sundar impressed by Sudharsan's growth Washington, now an experienced international with nine Tests, 23 ODIs and 54 T20Is under his belt, acknowledged that Sudharsan's steady rise had become a talking point in Chennai's cricketing circles. He revealed that coaches and peers often spoke about Sudharsan's consistent improvement, and he himself saw plenty to admire in the youngster's technique and work ethic. Sundar noted that every time he watched Sudharsan on television, it was clear the youngster's game had evolved. His dedication and discipline, Sundar said, served as inspiration not just for him but also for many upcoming cricketers in the region. Chennai's cricketing legacy finds new light As India's next generation takes shape, the camaraderie between Washington Sundar and B Sai Sudharsan highlights a new chapter in Tamil Nadu cricket. For Sudharsan, the journey that began with watching Sundar make it to the national team is now coming full circle—with his own debut just days away.

In-form Sudharsan draws inspiration from fellow townsman
Sai Sudharsan credited fellow Chennaite Washington Sundar's cricketing journey for inspiring him, ahead of the crucial red-ball series against England. Following a splendid domestic season, including a stellar Indian Premier League (IPL) in which he was the highest run-getter, Sudharsan earned a call-up to the national squad for the five-match Test series commencing on Friday, 20 June. "I've played a few games against him, so it is always special", the left-hander batter told praising Sundar. "We've looked up to him a lot, I've practiced once, twice and the way he went up and the way he played for the country, it was really quick and I had that in my mind." The rich in-form batter said Sundar has been an inspiration for him when he was young. "It was great to see him - a few years of IPL, he did well in IPL, then he played for the country, so it was a great motivator for me from Chennai. "Knowing him from young, playing with him - it's kind of an inspiration where it made me feel that I also want to do the same way." Sundar started as a batter in the ICC U19 World Cup in 2016, and made his senior national team debut within a year. The then 20-year old all-rounder made his Test debut and played a vital knock in India's famous Gabba win in 2021, which helped them win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Sundar reciprocated the same thoughts about Sudharsan saying his friends and coaches have constantly spoken about the latter's growth. "He's always grown with his cricketing career in the last three-four years, and he's managed to get better every year. "Everytime I have watched him on TV, there was a lot to take away from him and from his skill sets and the kind of work ethics that he has got. "He has definitely inspired a lot of kids, especially in Chennai and I am sure he's going to continue to inspire so many more around the world. I am very for him." India, under a new captain, will begin the new World Test Championship cycle taking on England at Leeds from Friday.

Team India Newcomer Names Spinner As 'Inspiration'. Not R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja Or Kuldeep Yadav
Ahead of the first Test against England at Leeds, India's rising batting star Sai Sudharsan spoke on how fellow Tamil Nadu all-rounder Washington Sundar has been an inspiration for him, motivating him to rise up the ranks and wear the Indian colours quickly. The first Test against England at Leeds from June 20 onwards could kickstart the Test career of a 23-year-old Sudharsan, who has represented India in three ODIs and a T20I so far, getting two ODI half-centuries in South Africa. Recently, he won the Orange Cap for most runs and the 'Emerging Player' award during the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Gujarat Titans (GT), scoring 759 runs in 16 innings, with a century and six half-centuries. Sudharsan is Sundar's junior in domestic cricket, with the all-rounder having made his first-class debut at the age of 17 back in 2016. Sudharsan's debut came at the age of 21, six years later. Before becoming an IPL star, Sudharsan's grind came in Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), where he sits at number 10 among top run-getters, with 1,303 runs in 30 innings at an average of 56.65, a century and 13 fifties. Speaking about looking up to Sundar, who made his international debut as a teen in 2017 and Test debut in 2021 during the legendary Brisbane Test against Australia, Sudharsan said that the 25-year-old's quick rise served as an "inspiration" and "motivator" for him. "He has been my inspiration since I was young. I have played a few games against him, so it is always special. To be honest, we have looked up to him a lot. I have practised once or twice (against Sundar), the way he went up and the way he played for the country, it was really quick, so I had that in my mind. He did well in the IPL, and then he played for the country. So it was a great motivator for me from Chennai. Knowing him since I was young, playing with him, it is kind of inspiring. It made me feel I want to do things the same way," said Sudharsan in a video posted on BCCI's official website. Sundar is also extremely proud of the youngster's growth over the years, saying that he has inspired a lot of kids in Chennai already. "I have watched him on TV. There is a lot to take away from him, his skillset and work ethic he has got. He has inspired a lot of kids in Chennai, and I hope he will continue inspiring kids all over the world," said Sundar. "He has told me about that quite a few times. A lot of my friends and coaches, as well, have spoken about his growth. He has only grown in the last three or four years and has got better with every year," he concluded. India tour of England will take place from June to August 2025, with matches to be played at Headingley (Leeds), Edgbaston (Birmingham), Lord's (London), Old Trafford (Manchester), and The Oval (London). A new era beckons for India in the Test format as the modern-day giants gear up for their first assignment without the prized batting bigwigs Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Shubman Gill, India's youngest Test captain, has taken the baton from Rohit to guide the nation to success and challenge for the World Test Championship mace. India's Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
