Alphabet

Alphabet Inc. is an American technology holding conglomerate headquartered in Mountain View, California, created on October 2, 2015 through a restructuring of Google. The restructuring aimed to separate the core internet business (Google) from more experimental ventures ('Other Bets'). Alphabet was created by Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin; its current CEO is Sundar Pichai (since December 2019), and the chairman is John L. Hennessy. The company is listed on NASDAQ under the tickers GOOGL (Class A) and GOOG (Class C) and ranks among the world's largest companies by market capitalization. Its major subsidiaries include Google (and within it Google DeepMind), as well as Waymo, Verily, Calico, X Development, Wing, Isomorphic Labs, Intrinsic, Google Fiber and the funds GV and CapitalG. Its AI work is driven primarily by Google and Google DeepMind (e.g. the Gemini model family, TPUs, fundamental research). In 2025 Alphabet reported about $403B in revenue and $132B in net income, with roughly 199,000 employees (as of June 2026).
