my.WordPress.net gives you a complete, private WordPress environment with no sign-up and no hosting plan needed.

Everything stays on your device. You can use it to write, learn, experiment, or build with pre-configured apps like a personal CRM or RSS reader.

Built on WordPress Playground, my.WordPress.net takes the same technology that powers instant WordPress demos and turns it into something permanent and personal. As you don’t need to choose a hosting provider, your WordPress belongs entirely to you. In a publishing environment, you’d briefly interact with WordPress as you prepare your next post. In a personal setting, it becomes a place you shape and return to.

Because sites on my.WordPress.net are private by default and not accessible from the public internet, they don’t behave like traditional websites. They aren’t optimized for traffic, discovery, or presentation, and they don’t need to be. Instead, WordPress becomes a personal environment where ideas can exist before they are ready to be shared, or where they may never be shared at all.

my.WordPress.net includes an App Catalog with pre-configured experiences designed specifically for personal use, built with WordPress plugins. Contacts can be grouped, enriched with personal details, and paired with reminders to reconnect.

What you should know:

• Storage starts at roughly 100 MB
• The first launch takes a little longer while WordPress downloads and initializes
• All data stays in your browser and is not uploaded anywhere
• Each device has its own separate installation
• Backups should be downloaded regularly

The relocation comes more than a decade after Flipkart moved its headquarters overseas. The company is targeting a stock market debut in India in the financial year ending March 2027, people familiar with the company told TechCrunch.

Walmart-owned Flipkart’s IPO plans come as the country’s e-commerce market expands rapidly, thanks to a growing internet user base that’s already crossed a billion subscribers. The relocation mirrors a broader trend of Indian startups, including Zepto and Groww, relocating their overseas holding structures back home in recent years as they seek to go public. Groww went public last year, while Zepto filed confidentially for an IPO in December.

Flipkart’s gross merchandise value reached about $30 billion in 2025, sources told TechCrunch, up from roughly $23 billion in 2021. The platform has more than 500 million customers and 1.6 million sellers across the country, while its logistics arm Ekart delivers to more than 22,000 PIN (Postal Index Number) codes nationwide.

Founded in 2007 in Bengaluru, Flipkart was one of several Indian startups to set up overseas holding structures as they sought to attract foreign investment, benefit from tax advantages, and better navigate India’s regulatory environment at the time. In 2018, Walmart acquired a majority stake in Flipkart for $16 billion.

India has been encouraging more technology companies to list domestically as companies seek greater regulatory clarity and simpler tax structures by moving their headquarters back home.

Flipkart announced plans to move its headquarters back to India in April 2025. By September, the restructuring had received in-principle approval from a Singapore court, while hearings related to the shift were also held before India’s National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, people familiar with the matter told TechCrunch at the time.

“Flipkart has received Government of India approval for its internal restructuring, pursuant to which Flipkart Internet Private Limited is now the holding entity of the Flipkart group. This completes the redomiciliation of the Flipkart group to India, a significant milestone that reflects our deep and long-term commitment to India,” a company spokesperson said.

As per a forbes report, cost remains an ever present challenge which does not seem to pass over to the user yet.

Cursor’s larger rivals are willing to subsidize aggressively. According to a person familiar with the company’s internal analysis, Cursor estimated last year that a $200-per-month Claude Code subscription could use up to $2,000 in compute, suggesting significant subsidization by Anthropic. Today, that subsidization appears to be even more aggressive, with that $200 plan able to consume about $5,000 in compute, according to a different person who has seen analyses on the company’s compute spend patterns.

Cursor also subsidizes some users, though it appears it doesn’t do so as much as Anthropic. Cursor has negative margins for consumer subscriptions, but its business plans operate on positive margins, according to a person familiar with its finances. Businesses that use Cursor can use the Teams plan, which is targeted at startups and is easy to cancel, or negotiate an enterprise contract, which is targeted at larger organizations.
