The video shows the global tech leader interacting casually inside the Gurgaon campus, offering a glimpse of the atmosphere during the visit.
While narrating the video, Mittal said, “Yup, That's Sundar Pichai, and that's me making my 20-year-old self proud. Hi, I'm Taruvar, a Googler for the past 2.5 years now. So recently, I got a chance to attend a fireside chat with Sundar when he visited the Google Gurgaon office. While I was living the Peak Googler dream, the Indian cricket legend Shubman Gill showed up to teach Sundar his signature batting move. Safe to say that my 20-year-old self would be screaming right now.”
The post was shared with the caption, “Not an ‘average day’ at the office”.
