Alphabet Inc.

Alphabet Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate headquartered in Mountain View,

California. It was created through a restructuring of Google on October 2, 2015, and became the
parent company of Google and several former Google subsidiaries. The two co-founders of
Google continued to remain as controlling shareholders, board members, and employees at
Alphabet. Alphabet is the world's fourth-largest technology company by revenue and one of the
world's most valuable companies.
The establishment of Alphabet Inc. was prompted by a desire to make the core Google business
"cleaner and more accountable" while allowing greater autonomy to group companies that
operate in businesses other than Internet services. Page and Brin announced their resignation
from their executive posts in December 2019, with the CEO role to be filled by Sundar Pichai,
also the CEO of Google. Page and Brin remain co-founders, employees, board members,
and controlling shareholders of Alphabet Inc.
