West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today congratulated Google's new CEO Sundar Pichai, saying he is a source of inspiration.
"Congratulations Sundar Pichai. You are an inspiration. Doubly proud that you studied at IIT Kharagpur. Wish you visit your old college soon," Banerjee said in a statement.
Google co-founder Larry Page yesterday named Pichai as Google's new head and created a new holding company Alphabet.
Sundar Pichai's tryst with technology started with a thesis on electronic materials from IIT-Kharagpur two decades ago while pursuing a B.Tech in metallurgical and materials engineering.
