Imran Sayed – Why Progressive Web App for WordPress?

At WordCamp Mumbai, Imran will share about Why Progressive Web App for WordPress?

Progressive Web App is a hot topic on the web right now.

As per recent studies ( Comscore ), users spend more time ( 87% ) on the native app compared to the mobile web because native apps are more predictable, they work offline, show notifications and have access to mobile sensors.

However, 78% of the time is spent in the user’s top 3 apps, and the rest of the apps just sit there and eat up the memory.

Mobile web, on the other hand, has a better reach ( 100 visits/ month for an average user ) but does not does have a native-like experience.

In this talk you will learn, how we can combine the capabilities of native apps and the reach of the web, to get the best of both worlds, using Progressive Web Apps with WordPress.

Here’s What You Need To Know About The Charity Hackathon do_action

Supporting a not for profit cause is a powerful way to give back to the community. Helping the underprivileged or backing a good cause is a great source of joy. Whether it for the short term or long term, the progress of society can have a strong impact on people and change the way they live their lives.

WordPress Mumbai is based on the foundation of giving back to the community. And what better way to give back to the community, then to help the Nonprofit organizations.

Keeping this in mind, WordPress Mumbai Community is organizing its first-ever do_action charity hackathon for local Non-Profit Organizations based out of Mumbai.

At the do_action charity hackathon, volunteers of the WordPress Mumbai Community help Non-Profit Organizations in building their online presence using WordPress. We understand that Non-Profit Organizations are working round the clock with a tight budget. So, with the do_action charity hackathon, the NGOs can invest their funds in greater things.

do_action events are sponsored by the WordPress Foundation where volunteers of the local WordPress community come together to plan and build brand new websites for several local nonprofit organizations in one day.

WordPress Mumbai Community will also offer training to the representatives of the NGOs so that they can fully manage their website in the future.

So, what are you waiting for? Come, join us on 19th October 2019 and support local NGOs for the greater good!

Why pass prices are hiked this year and other changes

WordCamp Mumbai 2019 is happening and we are all excited.

This is the first time it’s going to be a three day event and everyone is waiting with bated breath.

On 8th November, we will celebrate Contributor day. The event will bring together bright minds to make WordPress better using their skills and expertise. It’s the best way to celebrate WordCamp locally and the response we have received yet is amazing, to say the least.

The day is then followed by two day WordCamp as we know it, where trailblazing sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities will present itself to the community.

There are many changes we are going for this year, for example, it’s happening in November, one of the best time to experience the chilly winters of Mumbai. It’s the best time to travel around and travel to the city after WordCamp! Ask any Mumbaikar and you’ll get winters are the best in the city.

As we grow bigger, aspirational and scale new heights we have to face the fact that there will be an increase in the costs. There will be venue costs, food & refreshment costs, maintenance costs. New ideas need support, and what better way than to have support from the community.


The major reason for the increase in ticket prices is the inclusion of GST costs on each item which needed to be calculated. The introduction of GST has increased the overall budget and to provide the best experience we have decided to increase the price of our tickets.

The price covers all the basic costs required to organize the mega event and to ensure the community has exceptional experience of WordCamp Mumbai 2019. We believe the hike will be accepted by you the attendee and you will come in strong numbers to show support as you have always done so.
