Nirav is referred to as an Entrepreneur Geek<\/strong>. One who likes technology as much as businesses.\u00a0Nirav has built a rather impressive track record over the last 17 years\u00a0whilst which he launched India’s first electronic magazine at the age of 18, started a thriving web agency at 19, and was asked to exit the company he\u00a0started at 30.<\/p>\n

From that low, he made a return and went on to create a\u00a0string of seven businesses. In his words, he is not a serial entrepreneur, but\u00a0a parallel entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

Nirav and his team have created some of the most popular WooCommerce plugins. And they also have a lot of plugins on the WordPress plugins repo – with over 100,000 active installs collectively. Over the years, he’s worked with more than 500 developers in his own businesses and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

With a large experience of speaking at events in the niche, Nirav will be speaking at WordCamp Udaipur on –\u00a0Why Indian Devs fail and what can be done about this?<\/p>\n

Key Points:<\/p>\n

In his words, “We are Indian Developers. For most people, what China is to manufacturing, India is to software development. Cheap, Bulk, Inferior Quality. And let’s face the truth, for a large part, that argument is not wrong. Consider other people you’ve worked with so far. Do you think they have great talent? Are they very good developers?<\/p>\n

The sad thing is that we did not design ourselves for mediocrity and failures. It’s the way our brains are wired. In most cases, we don’t even know we are lousy. Let’s take this opportunity to look within and uncover the deepest sources of our biggest limitations. Let’s dig to the roots of our reality. Because awareness precedes change!<\/p>\n

While we’ll look at some painful things about ourselves, I promise you will walk out with a lot more power”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
