What is the Name of Google’s Parent Company?

Ever wondered who actually owns Google? It’s not just Google anymore — meet its parent giant!

The parent company of Google is **Alphabet Inc**. It was created in **2015** as part of a major restructuring of Google’s business. The goal was to make Google more organized and to separate its main services from other experimental and future-focused projects.

Before Alphabet existed, Google was handling everything—from search engine and YouTube to self-driving cars and medical tech research. This made it harder to manage such a wide range of projects under one brand. So, the company’s founders, **Larry Page** and **Sergey Brin**, decided to create Alphabet Inc. as a new parent company. Under Alphabet, Google became just one of the many companies it owns.

Alphabet now owns several businesses, including:
- Google (Search, Ads, Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Android),
- Waymo (self-driving cars),
- Verily (health and medical science),
- Calico (life extension research),
- DeepMind (artificial intelligence),
- Google Fiber (high-speed internet).

This setup allows each business to focus on its own goals while still being part of one big company. It also helps investors see how different parts of the business are performing.

Alphabet Inc is one of the most valuable tech companies in the world today. Its structure has become a model for other big companies that want to manage a wide range of innovative projects.

So, while we still use the name "Google" every day, the bigger company behind it is called Alphabet Inc. It shows how one simple search engine turned into a global tech empire.
