It is not everyday that a tech giant announces a new CEO. Below captures Sundar Pichai's story in ten distinct facts. I believe every ambitious young Nigerian can relate to them due to what I tag the "daily struggle" similarities between India and Nigeria.

1.Pichai was born and schooled in Chennai, India- (Secondary and Tertiary Education)

2.Pichai's family did not possess a telephone until he was 12 years old

3.His family lived in a two room apartment

4. Pichai didn't have a room - he slept on the living room floor, as did his younger brother

5.The family didn't own a television, or a car

6.Pichai was offered a scholarship to Stanford (For Masters)

7.The plane ticket to America cost more than his Dad's annual salary

8. He was a successful product manager for Google's Chrome and Android businesses since joining in 2004

9. His net worth is in the multi millions.He was given $50 million in stock by Google to keep him from jumping ship and joining Twitter

10. He is married with two children

What an inspirational story! Moral of story - there's no limit to how much we can achieve if ONLY we strive to be the best

errm, okay
