  • From Employee to Entrepreneur: Journey of Building a WordPress Agency

    WordCamp Asia 2025Speaker: Nirmal Desai

    April 19, 2026 — In 2013, I embarked on my career journey with WordPress at Multidots, starting from ground zero. Over time, I immersed myself in the WordPress ecosystem, learning the ins and outs of the platform and engaging with the vibrant WordPress community. My first taste of this community was at WordCamp Mumbai in 2015, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of attending numerous WordCamps across India and internationally. The sense of camaraderie and shared knowledge within the community was inspiring, and I was fortunate to eventually become an organizer for one of WordCamp Ahmedabad events. In 2018, I took a significant step forward by joining rtCamp as a Business Manager. Those nine months were filled with invaluable learning experiences, deepening my appreciation for WordPress technology and the opportunities it offers. However, my entrepreneurial spirit was calling, and in 2019, amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I founded my own agency, CreedAlly. The initial six months were incredibly tough. The uncertainty and struggles of starting a business during a global crisis made me question my decision. There were moments when I considered returning to a traditional job. Yet, an inner strength, coupled with unwavering support from my family, kept me going. After half a year of perseverance, I secured my first project worth $200. This small victory was a turning point, and from that moment, we never looked back. As CreedAlly grew, we welcomed team members who have been with us since the beginning. Their dedication and hard work have been instrumental in our success. Our collective efforts bore fruit last year when we became a WordPress VIP Silver Agency Partner, a significant achievement within just four years of our startup journey. Throughout this journey, I’ve received numerous messages from fellow WordPress enthusiasts, developers, and agency owners, both in India and abroad. They often ask me to share the lessons I’ve learned from starting and growing an agency. My answer is always rooted in the belief that success is born from learning from failures. I want to share my story to inspire others in the WordPress community. If I, with no entrepreneurial background, can build a successful agency, so can you. It requires persistence, a growth mindset, clear goals, a dedicated team, and a lot of hard work. The road from employee to entrepreneur is challenging, but the rewards of building something of your own are immeasurable. Believing in yourself, staying committed to your vision, and being resilient in the face of adversity are key. The journey may be tough, but with the right mindset and support, you can achieve your entrepreneurial dreams.

    In words of Nirmal – “In India and around Asia, we have very few contributors. As we know that, WordPress.tv is the only platform to publish the official WordPress videos.
