About Me

Hey, I’m Ankit 👋

I’m a WordPress Core Contributor and indie plugin founder with 13+ years in the ecosystem. My plugins have crossed 1,000,000+ downloads across 100,000+ active installations on WordPress.org — including Hide Admin Bar, UltimaKit For WP, Page Visit Counter, AI Price Negotiator, and more.

I’ve spoken at 29+ WordCamps across India and Asia — including WordCamp Asia 2026 in Mumbai. I document the whole journey publicly on YouTube (@AnkitMakes) — plugin launches, product decisions, and honest indie dev numbers.

Outside the screen: long rides on my Yezdi Adventure, life in Pune with my dog Maxx, and building things I actually care about.

Outside the screen, I love long rides on my Yezdi Adventure, discovering new places, and simplifying ideas — in tech and in life.

This is my personal journal — unfiltered, unpolished, and always honest.

Thanks for visiting.
