Anjali &Sundar:

Anjali and Sundar share a simple yet heart-warming love story. It all started when they were in
college. Anjali and Sundar were in their first year of IIT when they first saw each other.
As days passed on, they gradually became friends. They started spending a lot of time together
and this process of getting to know each other made them realize that they shared a special bond.
Love blossomed and soon, they were dating each other. When they entered their final year of
college, Sundar proposed to Anjali and she said yes without even giving it a second thought.
But without phones and internet connection, it was difficult for them to meet often. For Sundar, it
was never a pleasant experience to walk all the way to the girl’s hostel in order to meet her. For
Anjali, things would often get embarrassing as the hostel warden would shout at the top of her
voice to inform her about Sundar’s desire to meet her.

Long Distance Relationship:

Anjali and Sundar’s real challenge presented itself when they passed out of their college. Sundar
had to leave to the USA for his higher studies, while Anjali had to stay back. Sundar was not
financially independent and hence could not afford international calls on a regular basis. In fact,
they even had to spend six long months without speaking with each other. But, it never took
away the charm of their relationship.
The distance, in fact, brought them closer! Anjali then managed to bag a job in the USA. Sundar
too, landed a job in a semiconductor firm.

Marriage:

They both sought their parents’ permission before tying the knot. The families were more than
happy with the alliance and they blessed the couple.

 Their wedding was a simple one. After their wedding, Anjali and Sundar continued to stay in the
USA. They are now the proud parents of two children Kavya and Kiran.

The Success Story:

Sundar Pichai had a very humble beginning. He was born and brought up in a middle class
family. He lived in a tiny flat in Chennai with his family, and never got to enjoy any sort of
luxury during his initial days. Anjali has always been there by his side and has guided him
throughout. Sundar was offered the post of CEO in Microsoft. Yahoo and Twitter too
approached him with lucrative offers when he was working for Google. He had already made up
his mind to leave Google and accept any one of the offers, but Anjali was against it. Her
persuasion and valuable advices at the right time also played an important role in his career.
Today, Sundar and Anjali are leading a happy life in a luxurious penthouse villa in Los Altos
Hills, California. The villa has been beautifully designed by Robert Swatt from the SwattMiers
architectural group. Despite being so rich and successful, they are still grounded as they both are
humble in nature.
