Meet woman, wife of Indian origin genius who was once paid Rs 8550000000 by Google for..., her name is..., not Sundar Pichai
A $100 million offer — that's what Google reportedly put on the table back in 2011 to keep Neal Mohan, an Indian-American businessman to stop him from joining Twitter, now called as X. The astonishing figure came up during a recent episode of People by WTF, the podcast hosted by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath. However, not many people know that YouTube CEO Neal Mohan's wife is a poet. According to the official website of Stanford University, the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences, School of Humanities and Sciences, Hema Sareen Mohan has worked for more than 20 years in the nonprofit and public sectors. For a decade, she worked in the California State Senate and County of Santa Clara.
Her key policy areas are education and juvenile justice reform. While in the State Senate, Hema Sareen Mohan worked on the landmark state legislation to change the kindergarten entry age and create a new grade known as transitional kindergarten in California public schools.
Hema's nonprofit experience includes seven years at the Vera Institute of Justice, a New York-based nonprofit policy and research organization, where she directed a training program for school-based police officers to use positive behavior support techniques with students and worked on an alternative-to-detention program for immigrants in deportation proceedings. In addition, Hema is a published poet and was most recently a finalist for the San Mateo County Poet Laureate.
Speaking of her educational qualifications, Hema studied BA in political science from Hunter College and an MPA from Columbia University.
Hema Sareen Mohan is married to Neal Mohan, who served as YouTube's Chief Product Officer from 2018 to 2023 before stepping into the role of CEO, succeeding Susan Wojcicki. A native New Yorker, she lives in the Bay Area with her husband and three children. She serves on the boards of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Peninsula, The Phillips Brooks School, and the Child & Family Institute.
Since 2023, Neal Mohan is the CEO of YouTube.
