During an intervier, Pichai said, “My father spent the equivalent of a year’s salary on my plane ticket to the U.S. so I could attend Stanford. It was my first time ever on a plane,” Pichai said, adding that when he eventually landed in California, things were not as he had imagined.

So when is his real birthday, A Reuters fact-box on Pichai says he was born on Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India on June 10, 1972, as does a report in The New Indian Express.
