Perplexity wants to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion to enhance its AI capabilities and user base. The three-year-old company has secured approximately $1 billion in funding from investors. Here's a look at the net worth of CEO Aravind Srinivas.

Perplexity AI, the high-flying A.I. startup founded by former Google intern Aravind Srinivas , has made a bold all-cash offer of $34.5 billion to acquire Google’s Chrome browser, Reuters reported. The bid is nearly twice Perplexity’s own valuation and would require significant external financing.

Srinivas has made a bold prediction regarding the future of office work, stating that their new AI browser, Comet, is poised to automate the roles of recruiters and administrative assistants.

Indian-origin tech entrepreneur Aravind Srinivas, co-founder and CEO of Perplexity AI, has submitted an unsolicited all-cash bid of $34.5 billion (approximately Rs. 3.02 Lakh Crores) to acquire Google’s Chrome browser, nearly double his startup’s own $18 billion (approximately Rs. 1.5 Lakh Crore) valuation.

In 2022, Srinivas co-founded Perplexity AI with Denis Yarats, Johnny Ho and Andy Konwinski. The company specialises in AI-driven search engines that offer real-time conversational responses. The AI company recently raised approximately $1 billion from investors such as Nvidia and Japan's SoftBank.
