The Alphabet
Google will now a part of a bigger company called Alphabet.
Why? Because, the company has grown into a lot of fields and
industries and it would be unfair to merge all of them with the
company they began with and the company that earns them
the maximum money.
Hence, founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin would be heading Alphabet, a large company
that Google is only a part of.
Alphabet owns companies across several industries, including technology, the life sciences, investment capital, and research. Google will also be a part of Alphabet.
Sergey Brin will be President, and Larry Page will become CEO of Alphabet. Sundar Pichai,
an Indian, will take his position as CEO of Google.
