A word from the CEO

Mr Sandeep Jain
CEO, GeeksforGeeks

GeeksforGeeks was born out of necessity- a need to provide a convenient and

one-stop educational portal to all the students of Computer Science. This ne-
cessity was as personal to me as it was universal. This need combined with my
passion for teaching resulted in GeeksforGeeks as we know today. My message
to you, in our inaugural edition of Geeks Digest, would be that if you are looking
for a problem to work on, you don’t need to look very far for it. All you should do
is to look around yourself.

Wishing you the best of luck!
