The strength of the WordPress project is built upon the quiet dedication of those who nurture its foundations and champion its principles for the long term. Aditya Kane stands as a true steward of this mission.
From his homes in Mumbai and Pune, India, Aditya’s work has been guided by a profound belief in the open web. For over a decade, he has contributed to the WordPress Community Team, where he now serves as a Program Manager, applying his passion for community building with strategic purpose. His journey began in 2012, co-founding the WordPress Mumbai Meetup—a spark that ignited countless local journeys.
Aditya’s contributions are foundational. He has been a key organizer for WordCamps across India and Asia, including Pune, Mumbai, and WordCamp Asia, helping to shape the very fabric of our regional community. Beyond events, he serves on the WordPress Incident Report Team, safeguarding the project’s integrity. In his professional work, he helps small businesses thrive by building their websites and providing expert WordPress training.
A thoughtful advocate, Aditya believes the tenets of open source—transparency, collaboration, and shared ownership—should extend beyond software into education, economics, and culture. He shares these ideas regularly on his blog, BombayPirate.com, inviting reflection and dialogue.
His dedication is not just to building websites, but to building a more open, participatory, and authentic digital world.
DaisyWP and TrueWP jointly celebrate Aditya Kane and extend our deepest thanks for his unwavering stewardship, his philosophical vision, and for tirelessly working to ensure the WordPress community remains a space where everyone can learn, contribute, and thrive.
