'Dosa, Chole Bhature And Pav Bhaji': Google CEO Sundar Pichai Reveals His Favourite Indian Food

Google CEO Sundar Pichai is among the many Indian-origin personalities who are steering to global levels with new developments. Even though he spends most of his time in the United States, the Google CEO is still very much connected to his roots. Recently, he was in a conversation with popular content creator Varun Mayya. During his conversation, Pichai talked about many topics, including AI’s impact on India, his advice to Indian engineers, his take on ‘wrapper’ startups, and more. However, after the intense conversation, he also mentioned his love for India and its food. He also revealed his favourite food in India that he often enjoys eating.

During a podcast, Google CEO Sundar Pichai was questioned about his favourite food in India by Varun Mayya. In response, Pichai gave a diplomatic answer in order to avoid a regional war of words on social media. He specifically chose his favourite foods from three metropolitan cities in India: Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. He revealed that he loves dosa from Bengaluru, chole bhature from Delhi, and pav bhaji from Mumbai. In his conversation, he told Varun, “When it’s Bangalore, I will probably get a dosa. It’s my favourite food. If it’s Delhi, chola bhatura. And if it’s Mumbai, I’ll do a pav bhaji."

Apart from talking about his favourite Indian dish, Sundar Pichai made a notable reference to a scene from Aamir Khan’s superhit film 3 Idiots. It started when the host of the podcast questioned him about an industry in India that has been set up to help youngsters crack interviews for FAANG (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google). After hearing the question, he responded by giving a reference to Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots. He emphasised the importance of deeper learning and said, “I was almost tempted to go back to the movie 3 Idiots or something like that. And like, there’s a scene in there when they ask Aamir Khan the definition of motor. And there’s a version that describes what a motor is. And there’s a version where you actually understand what a motor is."

Talking about Sundar Pichai, he was born in Tamil Nadu and later shifted to the USA to complete his higher education. In 2004, he got the opportunity to work for Google. In 2015, he was appointed as the next CEO of the tech giant.
