Google CEO Sundar Pichai becomes billionaire, wealth increases because of his current net worth is… Sundar Pichai Becomes Billionaire: Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has become a billionaire after his company earned big, adding more than a trillion dollars to the market value. The tech giant has provided a whopping 120 percent return to its investors since 2023. As Alphabet's shares touch all-time high, Pichai's net worth has also increased to USD 1.1 billion, as per Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Notably, this is a one-of-a-kind achievement for a CEO who has not founded the company. Top executives in the tech world, such as Mark Zuckerberg (Meta) and Jensen Huang (Nvidia) become billionaires because of their stakes as founders in their companies. Longest Serving CEO Of Google Google was founded in 1998, and Sundar Pichai joined the tech Giant in the year 2004. Even though he was not a part of the company when it was founded, Pichai has become its longest-serving CEO. He will complete 10 years as the CEO of Google in August. Notably, the 53-year-old of Indian-origin has a stake of 0.02 percent in Google, which is worth about USD 440 million. He has sold over USD650 million worth shares of Alphabet over the past decade, and most of his wealth is in the form of cash. Sundar Pichai's Personal Life Sundar was born in Tamil Nadu's small city of Madurai in a middle-class family. He grew up in a two-room apartment. He got a phone at the age of 12. In 1993, when Pichai received a graduate scholarship to Stanford University, his family spent more than his father's annual salary (USD1,000) to buy a flight ticket to California. Long Journey At Google And Focus On AI After joining Google, Pichai worked hard for more than a decade and took the company to new heights. He helped in developing the Chrome browser and led the Android division, even before being named CEO in 2015. During an interview with Bloomberg in October last year, Pichai said that 'One of the first things I did as CEO was focus the company on AI.' It is worth noting that Google made its first big AI investment in 2014 and bought London-based startup DeepMind for USD400 million. Pichai has majorly increased spending, dedicating nearly USD50 billion to AI projects last year alone.

DefMin signs Rs 2K-cr deal with BEL
New Delhi: The Ministry of Defence on Friday signed a contract with public-sector defence company Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) for the procurement of Air Defence Fire Control Radars for the Indian Army, worth approximately Rs2,000 crore, under the Buy (Indian-Indigenously Designed Developed and Manufactured) category. With a minimum 70 per cent indigenous content, these Fire Control Radars will be able to detect all forms of airborne threats, including fighter aircraft, attack helicopters and enemy drones. This would mark a significant milestone in the modernisation of the Air Defence Regiments and enhance the Indian Army's operational readiness, while contributing to the economic growth of the nation, according to a Defence Ministry statement. The contract was signed and exchanged by senior officials of the Ministry of Defence and BEL in the presence of Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh. The procurement marks a pivotal step towards empowering indigenous defence industries by encouraging Indian MSMEs through components manufacturing and raw material supply, the statement said. The government is keen to promote the country's defence industry, and earlier this month Defence Acquisition Council, under the chairmanship of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, gave the go-ahead for 10 proposals to purchase military hardware, including missiles and electronic warfare systems, worth approximately Rs 1.05 lakh crore through indigenous sourcing. India's indigenous defence production has surged to an all-time high of Rs1.46 lakh crore, with exports increasing to a record Rs24,000 crore in 2024-25, according to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.'Our defence production, which was only Rs43,000 crore 10 to 11 years ago, has now crossed a record figure of Rs1,46,000 crore, with the private sector's contribution of over Rs32,000 crore. Our defence exports, which were around Rs600-700 crore 10 years ago, have surpassed a record figure of Rs24,000 crore today,' the minister stated in his address at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) annual summit recently. He described Make-in-India as crucial for security and prosperity, stating that the use of indigenous systems during Operation Sindoor has proved that India has the power to penetrate any armour of the enemy.

Tesla beats Chinese rivals in some driving assisted tests, say China state media, Bytedance
Billionaire Elon Musk 's Tesla outperformed Chinese rivals including BYD , Xiaomi and Huawei in a test of assisted driving technologies on China's highways, according to results published by TikTok owner Bytedance's auto unit Dcar. State television CCTV and Dcar jointly tested the level 2 advanced driving assistance systems ( ADAS ) from more than 20 electric vehicle brands in China and rated their performance in a series of scenarios with higher risks of accidents on highways and urban traffics. The test videos posted by Dcar went viral on Chinese social media. Tesla scored the best in the highway test among 36 models, with its Model 3 and Model X passing five out of six scenarios, while BYD's Denza Z9GT and Huawei-backed Aito M9 failed in three scenarios. Xiaomi's SU7 passed in one of six. In a Weibo post on Friday, HIMA, the Huawei-led auto alliance, said it declined to comment on the "so-called test." BYD and Xiaomi didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. "Due to laws against data export, Tesla achieved the top results in China despite having no local training data," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on his X account on Friday. Tesla has been caught in what Musk described as a "quandary", as the U.S. doesn't allow its AI software to be trained in China, while the automaker has been seeking approval from Chinese regulators to transfer data saved locally in Shanghai back to the United States for algorithm training. Domestic brands should face up to the gap with Tesla in autonomous driving , Wang Yao, deputy chief engineer of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, told an auto forum in Shanghai earlier this month. Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, in remarks after a Tesla Model Y delivered itself from an Austin, Texas factory to its owner in the area roughly 30 minutes away, said "we will continue to learn" from Tesla which has led industry trends. The test came amid growing safety concerns in China about the ADAS after a highway accident involving a Xiaomi SU7 killed three people in March. State media have blamed misleading promotions for resulting drivers' improper uses of the technologies and the authorities have banned the uses of terms such as "smart driving" and "autonomous driving" for marketing driving assistance features. The public security ministry said this week that the country will set out legal responsibilities related to the technology that has yet achieved true autonomous driving. Drivers face safety and legal risks if they are distracted in accidents when assisted driving is turned on, the ministry warned. Xiaomi had seen a slump in new EV orders as a consumer backlash began in April following the fatal trash, but the impact seems short-lived, with its new electric SUV receiving exceptionally strong initially orders after it went on sale last month. Tesla's sales of its China-made electric vehicles edged up 0.8 per cent in June from a year earlier, snapping an eight-month losing streak, but they continued to fall on a quarterly basis in the face of lower-cost new models from its Chinese rivals. Tesla's assisted driving suite is available in China for nearly $9,000, while the technology from its local rivals including Xiaomi and BYD is without extra cost, pressuring the U.S. automaker's self-driving future. Tesla's technology approach relies solely on cameras as sensors and artificial intelligence while most Chinese peers including BYD use lidar (light detection and range sensors) additionally to ensure performance.
