Mentor- DSA Self Paced Course at GeeksforGeeks
📍 Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India

Sandeep Jain is the Founder and CEO of GeeksforGeeks, an ed-tech platform he bootstrapped from a personal blog into a major resource for computer science students. His journey started from a tier-3 engineering college, followed by an M.Tech from IIT Roorkee and a software developer role, before he pursued his true passion for teaching.

Fueled by his own challenges in accessing quality resources during his studies, Sandeep is dedicated to mentoring and empowering students. He believes that the brain often solves the most complex problems in unexpected, relaxed moments, not just while at a desk. He emphasizes persistence and breaking down large goals into smaller, manageable wins.

Unique fact: Sandeep never intended to be an entrepreneur; his passion for teaching led him to start a blog that grew so popular he left his teaching job to run it full-time.
