Person
Geetesh Bajaj is based in Hyderabad, India, and he got started with his first PowerPoint presentation more than a decade ago. He has been working with PowerPoint ever since.
Geetesh believes that any presentation is a sum of its elements. Everything in a presentation can be broken down to this element level, and PowerPoint's real power lies in its ability to act as glue for all such elements.
Geetesh contributes regularly to journals and Web sites, and has authored two other PowerPoint books. He's also a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP (Most Valuable Professional) and a regular on Microsoft's PowerPoint newsgroups. Geetesh's own Web site at indezine.com has thousands of pages on PowerPoint usage. It also has a blog, an e-zine, product reviews, free templates and interviews.
Geetesh welcomes comments and suggestions about his books. He can be reached at geetesh@geetesh.com.
