This week, Manan Shah and I had the privilege of sitting down with Sagar Patel,
A humble visionary who turned a $7 freelancing gig into a thriving WordPress powerhouse.
In a small village near Ahmedabad, a boy without a computer dreamed of building tools that would power websites around the world.
His parents never finished school. He saved lunch money to browse the internet from cyber cafés. His first online profit? $7.
Today, that dreamer is none other than the founder of Posimyth Innovations, Sagar Patel.
This is the story of how humble beginnings, curiosity, and quiet conviction built something remarkable.
From Village Life to the Digital World
Sagar was born in Naroda, a village near Ahmedabad. His father was a milkman and farmer. His parents never completed schooling.
Despite limited resources, Sagar’s natural curiosity and love for philosophy shaped his early thinking. He excelled in school but saw his college grades dip, Not from lack of effort, but from exploring beyond the classroom.
He studied Computer Science (B.E.) at Gujarat Technological University (2010–2013), and didn’t own a personal computer until his third year. Instead, he relied on cyber cafés and his college library to chase his fascination with the digital world.
“When you’re hungry to learn, you find a way. No matter where you are.”
The $7 That Started It All
In his 7th semester, Sagar began freelancing, doing small projects late at night. Along with his friend Rushi Patel, he co-founded INSIGNIA Technolabs in 2013.
He spent nights sending proposals on platforms like Upwork and Freelancer.com
His first earnings? $7. Not just a number, A turning point.
Discovering the Problem in WordPress
As he built websites, Sagar encountered WordPress and saw both its promise and its pain:
- Performance issues
- Limited design flexibility
- Friction for non-technical users
- Bloated tools that made simple tasks harder
Most plugins didn’t solve real problems. They added noise, not clarity.
This insight sparked something deeper, A vision to build what creators truly needed.
Launching Posimyth, On a Date That Meant More
On 20th July 2015, the anniversary of humankind’s first step on the moon, Sagar launched Posimyth Innovations.
His mission was clear:
“Empower creators to build better websites without struggling with complex tools.”
The first product? The Plus Addons for Elementor, A performance-first, user-friendly toolkit that extended Elementor’s potential in powerful new ways.
Building With Users in Mind
Instead of competing on features, Sagar focused on:
- Solving real problems
- Clean design systems
- Performance optimization
- Thoughtful onboarding
- Human support and documentation
The result? A growing suite of products loved by creators across the world:
- The Plus Addons for Elementor
- The Plus Blocks for Gutenberg
- Nexter WordPress Theme
- A suite of upcoming AI-powered tools
With over 30,000 active installs, Posimyth Innovations is now a trusted name in the WordPress creator economy.
Lessons from the Journey
Sagar credits his growth to continuous learning, Through YouTube, podcasts, reading, and networking.
But more than knowledge, it’s his mindset that stands out.
“If you’re truly committed and passionate, you can achieve anything.”
“Focus on solving real problems, Not just building cool features.”
“Clear documentation and helpful onboarding matter as much as code.”
Final Word: What We Can Learn
From a tiny village in Gujarat to building products used by 30,000+ global users, Sagar’s story isn’t about flashy headlines. It’s about quiet consistency and deep clarity.
He didn’t have the best tools – he built them.
He didn’t follow hype – he followed purpose.
In doing so, he didn’t just build plugins.
He built confidence, trust, and a better way to create.
