Tech giant Google is celebrating its 27th birthday today with a playful, interactive Doodle on its homepage, marking nearly three decades of transforming the way the world searches for information. Founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin on September 27, 1998, Google has grown from a small research project at Stanford University into the world’s most widely used search engine and one of the most valuable technology companies.
Over the past 27 years, Google has evolved far beyond its search engine roots. From Gmail and Google Maps to Android, YouTube, and Google Cloud, the company’s products now power daily life for billions of people across the globe. Its AI-driven innovations, including Google Bard and advanced search algorithms, continue to set new benchmarks in technology.
To celebrate the occasion, Google released a vibrant birthday Doodle showcasing its journey from a dorm room idea to a global digital powerhouse. Users clicking the Doodle are directed to a search page highlighting key milestones in the company’s history.
Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, shared a message of gratitude on social media, thanking users, employees, and partners worldwide. “Our mission remains the same—to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Here’s to the next chapter of innovation,” he said.
As Google turns 27, it continues to focus on AI, sustainability, and data security, reinforcing its role as a pioneer shaping the future of the internet and technology.
