Ex-Google engineer says Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Sundar Pichai share the same trait—it’s the lesson he swears by as a $7.2 billion AI CEO
- Arvind Jain says he learned from Sundar Pichai’s mix of intense hard work and “thinking crazy,” exemplified by championing Chrome when many thought it was a bad idea.
- Jain left Google to co-found Rubrik (IPO in 2024) and AI search startup Glean, now valued at about $7.2 billion.
- He still takes lessons today — especially from young Gen Z hires who bring fresh, unexpected perspectives.
