    "Sundar Pichai, CEO Google and Distinguished Alumnus of IIT Kharagpur, has expressed his desire to visit the campus in the first week of January 2017," IIT-Kgp director Partha Pratim Chakrabarti said.
     
    The institute is inviting students to come back to campus on time after the winter break to be able to listen to Pichai.

    He then went on to pursue an MS in Engineering and Materials Science from Stanford University and an MBA from the Wharton School.
