Bold thinking plus hard work: ex-Google engineer credits Page, Brin, and Pichai for AI startup success
Ex-Google engineer Arvind Jain, now behind Rubrik and Glean (the AI startup valued at $7.2B), says the common thread among Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Sundar Pichai is thinking big and not letting constraints hold you back—“think crazy” while beating the drum of hard work. He points to Sundar Pichai championing Chrome as proof that bold, unconstrained ideas can win, a mindset Jain has carried into building AI tools at Glean, while also learning from younger hires.
