IIT graduate and ex-Accenture techie, meet Google's Sundar Pichai's wife Anjali Pichai. Check out her education qualifications and career

When we hear about Sundar Pichai’s phenomenal rise from a modest upbringing in India to leading one of the world’s most powerful tech giants, we often celebrate his brilliance, hard work, and leadership. But behind this towering success story stands a woman whose quiet strength shaped the journey in ways few know — Anjali Pichai.

Born and raised in Rajasthan, Anjali carved her own impressive path early on. A bright student, she pursued Chemical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur, one of India's most prestigious institutes. It was here, in the classrooms and corridors of IIT, that fate intervened — and she met Sundar. What began as a friendship evolved into a deep bond that would become the bedrock of Sundar's personal and professional life.

Anjali's own career trajectory is notable. A chemical engineer by training, she began her professional journey at Accenture and later took on a key role at Intuit, a leading American software company, where she works as a Business Operations Manager. Balancing her own ambitions while supporting a high-profile spouse, Anjali has been a powerhouse in her own right — all while staying away from the spotlight.

According to DNA, Anjali’s true impact on Sundar’s career came at a critical crossroads. When Sundar was presented with tempting offers from other tech giants during his time at Google, it was Anjali who gave him the decisive advice to stay put. That advice changed everything. Sundar not only stayed at Google but also ascended to the position of CEO in 2015, and later, in 2019, took the reins of Alphabet Inc.
