Imagine that you live in a large city, but WordPress is almost unknown. The websites with a sense of existence are operated by the government and do not have WordCamp, party or entrepreneurial culture. When you say that you are computer engineers, people will think you are doing keyboards.
Imagine the same city after five years. Through blogs and websites, you can hear a variety of different voices. The recent WordCamp has attracted more than 300 participants. Its online WordPress community has more than 5,000 registered members. At least 10 new WordPress business is born each year. Furniture entrepreneurship in the living room and garage. When everyone says that a task is impossible, this change begins.
This is the story of Kedman and Sakin Shrestha.
Meet Sakin
Because of the reputation, this is an unknown voice. His wish list matches a mission I have assumed in 2016, that is, he advocates more female speakers by hesitating and nervously to become a female speaker.
Small World from PROSPRESS
My automattic colleague Mahangu Weerasinghe told me a inland country between India and China and a community that needed help, and included me on the list of contacts that might speak next year.The call came in just two months. After three months and three flights, I talked about how wordpress made my dreams come true on the stage of Wordcamp in Kathmu.

I chatted with SAKIN and speaker Rich Collier with lunch the day before lunch in WONCAMP. I don’t know that his words eventually took me to Nepal.Humoring and low -key, I never guess he wasSeven companies and CEOs based on WordPress -based companies are partners of custom T -shirt shops used by almost all companies in Nepal, and they are real community champions.
His character reminds me of many co -founders of WOO MAG and Mark, so when Sakin Said: \”When you sit with your team, it really brings synergy and many positive energy.\” Mark also sat with us at the WOO headquarters of Cape Town.
Sakin and his team participated in one of the many outings they participated together each year.
The origin story of WordPress
Sakin follows a way that many people go, complete their studies abroad, obtain MBA degrees, and then return to China. There is a hidden interest in web behind him. This is his interest in his a few years before he graduated from high school, and he can support himself through self -study design and encoding in free time. Combined with academic and personal interests, he applied for the human resources manager of the largest technology company in Nepal.
In the face of the problem of using custom coding and custom framework, Sakin wants to use WordPress to redefine their company website. Everyone told him that it was impossible.
In 2007, Sakin will not be possible, and then \”completely fall in love with WordPress\”. Want to convert all their projects to WordPress, his vision conflicts with the established company’s vision. In 2010, he left with good conditions and founded his first company Catch Internet, focused on WordPress, and learned a lot of knowledge about encoding standards by allowing customers to use WordPress VIP. In 2011, he was inspired after participating in Wordcamp in Melbourne, and he started the first WordPress party in the local area. Then in 2012, Sakin, UJWAL THAPA, and CHANDRA Maharzan organized WordCamp in Nepal, and 130 people participated in a selling event, which he called the experience of \”changing life\”.
WordPress has economic, social and cultural influence -promoting IT into a rapidly developing industry, giving birth to a passionate community, creating a complete ecosystem around the community, breaking the right pair What should typical Nepalese companies look like?

为什么他喜欢WooCommerce
“关于WooCommerce 的最佳之处在于它建立在WordPress 之上，是的，它是开源的，而且I have been paying attention to WOOTHEMES for a long time, I know it will be great. \”
\” The interface is very good, easy to use, the document is good, there are many extensions, most of the woocommerce expansion developers come from the WordPress community, I am always willing to provide help. \”
\” This is the place I like Woocommerce -the community, \”\” Sakin said. \”These days, I also like your stolen goods. You also inspire me to create more stolen goods in Nepal.\” In Wordcamp Kathmandu, Catch themes has great custom shirts, wapuu needles and stickers. Sakin began to use Woocommerce in CatchThemes.com in 2012. He believes that e -commerce plug -ins helps him to sell themes at an amazing speed and build his main business. His favorite extension is WooCommerce Subscriptions, developed by his favorite PROSPRESS team. He said that it \”helps my business grow through regular payment.\”
When enumerating the place where needed, he said that it is difficult to find the best expansion for specific purposes, and the main version of the main version to Woocommerce sometimes requires a large number of tests, or may not go smoothly. At the same time, he was satisfied with the optimization adjustment, because the pressure of the server resources was less and the latest 3.1 feature.
In the future, he hopes The Woocommerce version, and the shortcomingsThe prospects of the woocommerce version of the version of the WORDPRESS.com in the future are very excited. \”He is a machine\”
Sakin and machine rhyme. I heard people describe him more than once, so it is not surprising that his Verity theme has just been launched on WordPress.com, and he has three other businesses in the brew Considering Gu Tengbao, one is inspired by the latest version of Storefront (official woocommerce theme).
He admits \”I will come up with these crazy thoughts most of the time, but my teammates help me realize our dreams. I have the best and most supported team, I am all of them all of them, I am all of them all of them. They are very satisfied. \”
What about those who tell Sakin cannot use WordPress? His former boss was impressed by him, so that he became an ally of the WordPress community and helped organize WordCamp Nepal. Of course, others followed closely.
