Google is now known as Alphabet

Google is changing its structure. A new umbrella company, Alphabet, has been set up, which will contain a number of smaller companies, including Google.

Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have set up a new company called Alphabet, which Google itself is now housed under. As part of a restructuring, Alphabet acts as an umbrella company with a collection of companies beneath it, the largest being Google.

The new Google, according to Page, is “slimmed down.” This essentially means that Google will run Internet products like Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, and Android.
