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
necessity 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 second edition of Geeks Digest, would be that the status
quo must always be challenged, be it your code or your life, for the constancy of
change is what drives us forward in life.

Wishing you the best of luck!

New Identity
GeeksforGeeks
2009-2020

We have been evolving over a span of 11 years

Before and now finally we have decided to refresh
our logo to echo who we are. Having chosen
a minimalist design, the new logo represents
freshness & innovation. With a more modernist
appearance, the visual arrangement of the
letters symbolises the bond we have, with you.

We’ve come a long way since our humble

beginnings in 2009. Besides generating top-
notch content, we launched several courses
Now

and became an active job portal too.

We hope you like this new look and feel

New of GeeksforGeeks!

Manav says..
I am extremely grateful to be honoured with the
esteemed title of ‘Geek of the Month’ by

writing articles for their website.

Hoping to embark on a journey of sharing my

knowledge and experiences with the world for
free, I decided to create technical content on an
accessible public domain.

an excellent platform to exercise my skills
and the rest is history!
