During Sundar Pichai’s two-decade career with Google, he’s worked on many of the company’s major products including Google Chrome, Gmail, Google Maps, and Chromebook. In 2019, he became CEO of Alphabet, which currently has a market cap of more than $4 trillion, and its subsidiary Google. His current net worth is estimated at about $1.6 billion.
As one of the most powerful leaders in tech, Pichai reflected on how he got to where he is in his career. On a 2025 podcast by Podium VC, he said it took “a lot of luck along the way,” but added “it’s important to listen to your heart and see whether you actually enjoy doing it.”
