Have you ever been lucky to meet a celebrity while walking on the streets? Well, Sid Puri, a Bengaluru-based technology professional and the Head of Growth for Retool in India, suddenly bumped into Google CEO Sundar Pichai while walking on the streets of San Francisco. Puri took to the microblogging site X, formerly Twitter to share a picture of his sudden encounter with the google CEO.
"Go to SF they said, no one prepared me to just run into Sundar Pichai on the street," Puri wrote while sharing the picture on X. He also took to LinkedIn to share the same picture and wrote, "Landed in SF last week, jet-lagged after 1.5 days of travelling. Just to see Sundar Pichai walking down the street and getting my photo op."
In the picture, the Google chief can be seen dressed in blue jeans, a jacket and black sunglasses.
Since being shared, the picture has amassed close to 8 lakh views, 5,367 likes and tons of comments.
"Wow he walks without any security??? I am a little happy because he is so simple down to earth, and a little scared for his security at the same time," commented one user on the post.
"So great that (1) you recognized him (not sure I would have recognized him with sunglassess) and (2) he agreed to a photo opp! Frameworthy for sure," wrote another user.
"Thanks @PuriSid for sharing this great pic with legendary @sundarpichai.. so many techies look up to him, love from Bangalore," commented a third.
