GeeksforGeeks

One-Stop E-Learning Platform For Computer Science Geeks

By Sandhya Agrawal

A market research report has projected that the Indian online education market will expand at a CAGR of about 20 per cent by 2020, worth about 18 billion U.S. dollars. Also, by 2021, the online education industry in India will experience a growth of about X6 times. It is surprisingly true that by 2021, 9.6 million people will be enrolled in online education compared to 1.6 million users in 2016. Currently, with the whole buzz around the pandemic, the e-learning portals have been flourishing.

GeeksforGeeks is a computer science portal created by-geeks and for-geeks. The Portal has set industry standards for quality and systems that others thrive on matching. It is focused on producing quality rich content under multiple fields like Data Structures, Algorithms, Programming Languages, and Interview Preparation. For the Computer Science geeks, the Portal has an ocean worth of information to offer.

Exclusive and Outstanding Mindset
Behind the inception story of this one-of-a-kind EdTech start-up is the motivation of Sandeep Jain (Founder) to address the placement problem of Indian Engineering students. Jain identified that a considerable number of students experience unemployment after the completion of the degree as companies tend to ignore tier-III engineering colleges for placement. Further, he noticed that due to campus placements students lack knowledge in the procedures of off-campus placement.

Sandeep took steps in this area because of his passion for teaching and to tackle the students’ placement problems in India. He realised that for addressing all the above issues, there was no dedicated platform. Then came in the picture, the concept of GeeksforGeeks. Jain began writing blogs to help students plan interviews, and the demand for the information gave recognition and growth to the Portal.

From conception to completion, it’s admirable how GeeksforGeeks has marked its presence in the e-learning world. Making their way out through the crowd, the Portal offers new members to contribute research-driven articles and even pays for it. The vast collection of computer science-related articles and the opportunity for being an essential contributor is not yet available with any other e-learning portals in India.

Sandeep Jain is the genius mind behind this unique platform; he commenced this massive e-learning platform in 2009. Jain is an IIT Roorkee alumnus, and he likes to solve programming problems in the most effective ways. Apart from GeeksforGeeks, he has worked as a Software Developer with DE Shaw and Co. and as an Assistant Professor at JIIT Noida.

Entrepreneurship is not a destination, but it is a journey filled with hardships. One must always choose this path if they’ve dreamt of it, and criticism will come by default, so you must learn, grow, and then move on. Lastly, while taking any step, always hunt for knowledge and believe in yourself and your ideas.”
