"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 part of his interview with Sundar Pichai on Instagram.

In the video, he asks Pichai if he knows that an entire industry in India is built to help young Indians crack the FAANG interviews. He added, "How do you get 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 motor scene from Aamir Khan's film 3 Idiots.
