Google, aaj duniya ke sabse bade aur pramukh search engine ke roop mein jaani jaati hai, lekin iska safar ek college campus par shuru hua tha aur aaj vah ek vishvavyapi technology behemoth ban gaya hai. Chaliye, Google ki kranti aur itihas ko ek nazdeek se jaan lete hain.
Google ka itihas 1996 mein shuru hua tha jab Larry Page aur Sergey Brin, Stanford University ke ph.D. students, ne apne research project ke liye ek search engine banane ka kaam shuru kiya. Unka lakshya tha ek aisa search engine banane ka jo sabse adhik upayogkarta-friendly hota aur jisne search results ko adhigat roop se sudharne ka prayas kiya tha.
1998 mein, Larry aur Sergey ne apne search engine ka naam “Google” rakha. Yeh naam ek matra ‘googol’ se aaya tha, jo ek anantank sankhya ko darust darust likhne ke liye istemal hoti hai. Google search engine ki prakriya aur algorithm bahut adhunik thi, jo ki dusre search engines se adhik prashansanjanak aur samarthak thi.
Google ka search engine jaldi hi prashansanjanak hua, aur uska lokpriyata tezi se badhne lagi. Iska mukhy karan tha search results ki mahatvapurnata, jiska parinaamswaroop logon ne Google ko apni pehli pasand banaya.
2004 mein, Google ne apna public offering (IPO) launch kiya aur isse yeh ek publicly traded company bani. Is IPO ke baad, Google ne apne adhigatayen aur vistar ko aur bhi tezi se badhaya.
2015 mein, Google ne apne corporate structure mein parivartan ki ghoshana ki aur ek naye holding company “Alphabet Inc.” ka udayan kiya. Isse Alphabet Inc. duniya ke vibhinna kshetron mein vyavasthit hui, jisme Google ek matra subsidiary bani.
Google ne artificial intelligence (AI) aur machine learning mein bhi adhigat prabhav banaya hai. Unka AI-based assistant, Google Assistant, aur machine learning algorithms, jaise ki RankBrain, search aur user experience ko sudharne mein sahayak hain.
Alphabet Inc. ke antargat, Google ke alawa kai aur companies bhi hain jo tech, healthcare, aur dusre kshetron mein kaam karti hain. Inme se kuch pramukh companies Waymo (self-driving cars), Verily (healthcare), aur DeepMind (AI research) hain.
Aaj, Google ek aisa brand hai jo search engine ke alawa smartphones, smart speakers, cloud services, aur digital advertising mein bhi pramukh hai. Google duniya ke sabse bade tech companies mein se ek hai aur vah aage bhi naye innovation aur vistar ki ore badhti ja rahi hai.
