Express IIT-Kharagpur honoured Google CEO Sundar Pichai with the Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) Award and his wife Anjali Pichai with Distinguished Alumnus Award at a programme in San Francisco in the US, said a statement issued by the institute on Thursday.
The felicitation was done in the presence of VK Tewari, Director, IIT-Kharagpur, and Sundar Pichai’s parents and their daughter Kavya Pichai.
“In recognition of his remarkable contribution towards digital transformation, affordable technology and pathbreaking innovations; President Droupadi Murmu, Visitor of the institute, bestowed the degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) to Pichai in absentia at the 69th Convocation of IIT-Kharagpur in December last year. However, as Pichai was not present at the annual convocation, the institute therefore had decided to reach out to him at a later date for the same. On July 23, the institute officials held the felicitation programme in San Francisco,” the institute said.
