These operations are currently unprofitable but making important strides in their various industries such as driverless cars, healthcare and other innovative ventures.
Meanwhile, Google's strong global brand is one of the most recognized in the world.
Its core products such as Search, Android, Maps, Chrome, YouTube, Google Play and Gmail each have over one billion monthly active users. Most of Google's products and services are free for users.
The majority of the company's revenue comes from advertising as Google's proprietary technology automatically matches ads to the content of the pages on which they appear.
