Vikas Singhal is the founder & CEO of InstaWP, a fast-growing platform in the WordPress ecosystem that makes WordPress instant, disposable, collaborative, and deployable like modern cloud environments. He is a computer engineer, entrepreneur, and product builder who has spent the last decade building tools for millions of WordPress users globally.
Before InstaWP, Vikas founded ExpressTech, the company behind several commercial WordPress plugins used by agencies, educators, and enterprises. Today, InstaWP powers thousands of sandboxes, staging sites, migrations, and automated workflows every single day — enabling developers to ship faster, reduce friction, and move from idea → prototype → production in minutes.
Vikas also has 15+ years of enterprise cybersecurity experience, having worked with global companies like Cisco, Trustwave SpiderLabs, and Netskope. He has built systems, performed pentesting, researched security architectures, and worked with Fortune 500 enterprises across multiple verticals.
Funded by Automattic, InstaWP is evolving into the “Easiest WordPress Cloud Platform,” combining site creation, staging, migrations, automated QA, site plans, hosting, governance, and AI-driven developer tooling.
As a speaker, Vikas focuses on developer experience, performance engineering, security, SaaS growth, and future WordPress product models. His talks are practical, opinionated, and grounded in real founder → builder experience within the WordPress economy.
Vikas lives in Bangalore, India, and travels globally for WordCamps and tech events. His mission: make WordPress a frictionless playground where developers build, test, deploy, and collaborate in seconds — not hours.
