"I also asked Sundar what he thinks of wrapper startups. Coming soon. Make sure you subscribe to me on YouTube. You don¡¯t want to miss this," Varun Mayya wrote while sharing a snippet of his interview with Sundar Pichai on Instagram.
In the video, he inquired whether Pichai was aware that an entire industry in India is dedicated to assisting young Indians in cracking FAANG interviews. He then posed the question, "How do you transition out of the competitive exam mindset?"
"I think real success comes from understanding things in a deeper way," Pichai answers. He then explains his reply by mentioning the iconic 'what's a machine' scene from Aamir Khan's film 3 Idiots in which his character Rancho is asked about a motor, showing how truly understanding something is more valuable than just knowing its definition.
¡°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 like there¡¯s a version which describes what a motor is. And there¡¯s a version where you actually understand what a motor is,¡± he added.
Here's the video:
What Is FAANG?
The acronym "FAANG" refers to the world's top five highly successful and renowned technology companies: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google (now Alphabet).
The application process for FAANG companies is highly competitive due to their notoriously low acceptance rates.
