Google's parent company Alphabet is now worth $1 trillion, joins Apple, Microsoft and Amazon

India Today  

When it comes to business volumes, Google is one of the few brands in the tech industry to operate on many fronts. In a latest report from CNBC, Google's parent company Alphabet has finally reached the $1 trillion mark, thereby becoming the fourth company in the world to be a part of the exclusive $1 trillion companies club. For Alphabet, the prime business is still Google's search engine and Google's advertising, both of which bring in the cash for the company. Prior to Alphabet, the only three companies in the world to be a part of the $1 trillion club were Apple, Amazon and Microsoft. In December 2019, Alphabet Founder and CEO Larry Page along with Co-Founder and President Sergey Brin stepped down from their posts, passing the mantle to Google's CEO Sundar Pichai.
