\"Hari<\/p>\n

WordPress is handy tool for startups and small businesses looking to quickly launch new media products. Hari Shanker will help you, on how One can start his own Startup on WordPress in his “WordPress for Startups”<\/strong><\/span> talk.<\/p>\n

Hari Shanker is a passionate WordPress enthusiast, Hari is currently employed as a Happiness Engineer at Automattic (The company best known for WordPress.com & more).
\nHari’s association with WordPress dates back to 2007 – when he first discovered it as a college student at Government Engineering College, Trivandrum.<\/p>\n

Little did he realize that the association would grow into a lifelong passion! This exhorted Hari to pursue WordPress development and support as a career after college, as WordPress Project Manager for a startup, where he oversaw the design, development and deployment of nearly 50+ WordPress websites for diverse clients including Fortune 500 companies. <\/p>\n

The passion for WordPress eventually led him to Automattic, where he currently engineers happiness for customers using WooCommerce – the eCommerce plugin for WordPress from Automattic, which powers 39% of all eCommerce stores. Even though Hari is familiar with WordPress theme and plugin development, his expertise lies in providing WordPress support & consulting, which also happens to be his day-job. <\/p>\n

A seasoned public speaker, Hari has delivered several talks about WordPress, Blogging, Open Source Software at different venues including National Institute of Technology Calicut and at NASSCOM-supported events. <\/p>\n

A runner-up of the 2011 Mindful Leadership by the University of Dayton, Ohio, Hari is also a Stringer with the national newspaper – The Hindu, where he contributes features on topics Technology, Startups and Youth, among others.<\/p>\n

Glimpse on Hari Shanker’s talk: “WordPress for Startups”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

India is currently undergoing an entrepreneurship boom of sorts – with special emphasis on Technology Startups. Any technology startup requires a set of powerful technology products – both as a tool to build the startup, and as a means to an end, to provide services to bring revenue to sustain the startup; something that only WordPress can achieve. <\/p>\n

With its extensive presence (26% of the web is currently powered by WordPress), and an-ever growing community, not to mention its easy learning curve and extensibility, WordPress offers a melange of solutions for business-owners. The talk assumes a two-pronged approach; viz to explore diverse realms of offering WordPress services\/setting up a WordPress agency and to use WordPress as a tool to build your company and\/or your software tool. I intend to do the same through case studies of successful companies who have achieved this, to display the true power of WordPress, through an interactive session.<\/p>\n
