Google CEO Sundar Pichai's Morning Routine is Approved By All Desi Parents

If you’ve grown up in a desi household, no matter where across the world, you would have heard the golden advice parents give to kids for a successful life: wake up early. Desi parents give, and follow this advice themselves too, religiously, and often are awake early in the morning following their ‘routine’ which often consists of reading newspapers and reclining on a chair drinking chai. Almost like core culture, this tradition of ‘if you wake up early in the morning, all your problems will go away’ attitude is passed down across generations of desis – and turns out, even Alphabet CEO, Sundar Pichai seems to follow a certain morning routine very similar to it. In the interview, Pichai had mentioned that because he grew up in India and the habit of doing this morning routine still stuck with him even years later, and also includes drinking chai. He also summed his morning by saying, “I’m not a morning person, so I need time with my paper and my tea to wake up and kind of get going.” Sundar Pichai, who grew up in Chennai and studied engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in many ways personalizes to every Indian that dreams do come true: Pichai currently heads Alphabet, the parent company of Google.
