Hey everyone, have you been following the discussions about SEO, digital marketing, and online promotion? One company that dominates the online world is Google. Did you know that Google is the number one search engine in the world? It was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were doing their PhD at Stanford University. They developed the Page Rank algorithm, which determines the quality of a page based on the number of backlinks it receives. This algorithm was a huge success and is still the backbone of the Google search engine today.
The current CEO of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, is Sundar Pichai. He was born in India and completed his MBA at the University of Pennsylvania and his metallurgical engineering at IIT Kharagpur. Alphabet is not only involved in search engine technology but also in artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, quantum computing, online advertising, e-commerce, consumer electronics and more. We use many Google products, such as the search engine, Maps, Google Drive, Chrome, Cloud, Meet, YouTube, Pixel, watch, Fitbit and more. The company is also working on self-driving cars, smart cities, and transformer models.
Google is a very powerful company and one of the most valuable brands in the world. However, it has faced criticism related to privacy concerns, censorship, search neutrality, and its monopoly position. Sundar Pichai, though he was born in India and received the Padma Bhushan award from India, is actually an American citizen. Some people think that India should develop its own search engine. What do you think? Could India one day create a great search engine like Google? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Thanks!
