The man who brought a revolution to the technological world and inspired thousands
of individuals around the world to dream big. Yes, you get it right. We are talking about Sundar
Pichai. We all are very well aware of his journey from the city of India to the head of one of the
most successful companies, Google and Alphabet. But one must wonder what Sundar Pichai did that
brought him this enormous success. In this video, we are going to see Sundar Pichai's daily routine
and the habits that made him one of the most successful leaders of all time.
Morning Routines
Even though Pichai is not a fan of mornings and does not call himself a morning person,
he has managed to design a very basic and easy morning routine for himself.
The mornings are just like any other Indian household. In India, all the people value
waking up in the morning the most and all youngsters are advised to wake up early and
their day early. This way, there is little room for laziness and one starts the day afresh.
While many top CEOs like Tim Cook, Bezos all wake before dawn to tackle workouts and a flurry of
emails, Pichai prefers a low-key start. He wakes up at around 6.30 to 7 a.m. and kicks off his day
by reading a physical newspaper. You would think the CEO of the world's largest internet brand
would prefer reading his news online, but he instead likes it old school. His newspaper of
choice is the Wall Street Journal. However, if he ever has to read news online, he prefers the New
York Times. He likes to follow this with some chai or Indian tea, then he eats his breakfast.
The breakfast is really important to him, he often prefer taking omelette and toast.
As the first meal of the day, a high-quality breakfast plays a key role in supplying energy
and nutrients that are critical for workday productivity. On the other hand, eating a poor
breakfast or skipping it altogether can lead to a decline in attention, memory, and overall
cognitive function in work performance. Now let's see how Sundar's typical day at work look like.
All day is all occupied with work, looking after the new projects, taking meetings,
and discussing the company's performance. We also know how he is trying his best to
He is trying to make the employees' work more enjoyable and wants to make them feel relaxed
and at their best while they are working. During the meetings, he particularly wants to hear
everyone opinions so that at the end he could give tasks people could work on.
Pitchy says he doesn't consider the work Google does as a zero-sum game and thinks for the longer
term. Focusing on the big picture can help all workers gain perspective, improving how they
After taking a lunch, he then preferred to work in his office, described as clean to the point
of being Spartan, and noted that this simplicity was reflected in his demeanor. The CEO of Alphabet
has shared his journey from India to Stanford University and all the hardships that he had
to face many times. He has his fair share of daily problems, just like any other human being.
When Sundar is done with work, he heads straight home in his BMW 730LD. And unlike a lot of big
company CEOs in the world, his evenings are occupied by spending time with his family,
his love Anjoli, whom he dated in India before she joined him in the United States,
and his two kids. He knows how to balance his professional and personal life very well.
He has his dinner in the evening with his family most of the time except for when he is out for
meetings. Pichai and his wife live in quietly place of Los Altos, one of the wealthiest towns
in California, a domicile where luxury meets comfort. Pichai purchased this opulent mansion
for a hopping $40 million. Sundar Pichai's California house is a sight to behold as it
incorporates all the world class amenities, including a tennis court and a miniature golf
field. Pichai and his wife have already presented the blueprints, an expansive architectural model
and image renderings to the interior designer, and have paid $6 million for their new home's
design, which is located on a slope 31.17 acre parcel. Sleeping time
The tech wizard feels the most productive at the night after 10 p.m. He likes to keep his schedule
flexible and does not have a fixed time to sleep. But he makes sure that he sleeps for around 7 to
8 hours every day. Habits are what define the quality of a person's life. You can very well
tell whether a person will be successful or not judging from his habits. Sundar, even though not
a fan of having a strict morning routine, knows the importance of having good habits. All this
net worth that he has built has been through sheer hard work and discipline.
