He launched the first desi blog-awards called the Indibloggies (http://indibloggies.blogspot.com) and created the first ever Hindi blog aggregator Chittha Vishwa.

    WordPress Origin Story

    I started blogging in 2002 at rediffblogs, then to Jroller and moved to self-hosted WordPress way back in 2006 (also wrote a blog about it at http://nullpointer.debashish.com/migrating-a-roller-blog-to-wordpress). Since then never looked back (even though my site was hacked couple of times, of course WordPress security has improved manifold since then). I have about half a dozen WordPress sites working now. Also got attracted to WordPress plugin development and created some.
