Google CEO Sundar Pichai believes that real success comes from ‘understanding things in a deeper way’. In an interview with Varun Mayya, founder of Aeos company, Pichai used the iconic motor scene from bollywood actor Aamir Khan’s iconic movie 3 Idiots as a reference to explain his answer.
When asked about how to break free from the competitive exam mindset, especially for FAANG applicants, Pichai said “I think real success comes from understanding things in a deeper way.”
“….tempted to go back to the movie 3 Idiots or something like that.And like, you know there’s a scene in there where they ask Aamir Khan the definition of a motor….there’s a version you just describe what a motor is. And there’s a version where you actually understand what a motor is,’ he answers.
For those unaware, FAANG is an acronym for the US tech giants – Facebook (now Meta), Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google.
Pichai also touched on the artificial intelligence (AI) race and importance of the Indian market for Google. He said that ‘India is one of our top markets’ with ‘largest user base’. “The underlying API for AI is available everywhere, including India. So I see developers already using it,” he added.
