About the Authors

Sanket Nadhani previously headed Marketing and Sales at FusionCharts, fresh out of college. As part of the role, he had to conceptualize different dashboards and demos and was often frustrated with the lack of practical resources on data visualization to learn from. Once he learned them after his daily bouts with tons of data, he started writing about the usability and best practices on the FusionCharts blog that have been well received.

He loves food, beer, and travelling. You can follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/sanketnadhani.
