Building a high quality WordPress agency in South Asia
summary
Founded in 2009 as a WordPress-only agency in India, rtCamp refuses the “race to the bottom” and documents specific hiring experiments, mentoring and incentives that turn junior hires into core contributors, plus a culture that requires paid work to feed open source contributions. The agency builds tools like rtMedia and EasyEngine that run on thousands of active sites, and reports measurable outcomes: higher retention, better rates, and recurring enterprise clients instead of low‑price one‑offs.
