About

Google is a multinational technology company founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were PhD students at Stanford University. Originally a search engine named BackRub, Google grew to become the world's dominant search platform, powering nearly 70% of global online searches. The company has since expanded into cloud computing (Google Cloud), consumer hardware (Pixel, Nest), productivity software (Google Workspace), digital advertising, AI research (Google DeepMind), mobile operating systems (Android), and streaming platforms (YouTube). Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., which became its parent holding company in 2015.
