When it comes to the business industry people often quote that “Success is not final and failure is not fatal what counts is the courage to keep going.” Hence, it can be said that entrepreneurs are not risk-takers in fact they are calculated risk-takers. One such entrepreneur is Umair Abubakkar, the founder of the renowned e-commerce platform “Gsm Player” which has fundamentally changed the way businesses operate. Gsm Player has no evident competitors with the same amount of flexibility and diversity of possibilities in terms of items and sellers, despite being a niche e-commerce service that deals with the procurement and sale of smartphone repair supplies. There are thousands of dealers on the platform who deal in smartphone repair parts. E-commerce has recently expanded to include a wide range of computer and smartphone accessories, as well as software solutions, which can be ordered and delivered directly to the buyer's door.


In his early twenties, Umair Abubakkar worked extensively with individual clients, developing customized e-commerce solutions for them. As his skills increased and his finances stabilized, he began to consider the possibility of developing a niche e-commerce platform to help bring digitalization to the masses. Gsm Player debuted a few years later and has since established itself as the leading marketplace for selling and purchasing technology repair supplies, new cell phones, and accessories.



Gsm Player has changed the way existing business owners do business, according to Umair Abubakkar. "Products and services are easy to buy but there isn't a great digital solution accessible for the repair and manufacturing industry other than Gsm Player. Previously, company owners had to rush to stores to purchase components to repair smartphones and devices, only to return empty-handed most of the time due to the pandemic's rise in demand. Gsm Player provides a simple way to purchase these components for a fraction of the cost, all while displaying availability and ensuring prompt delivery.”


He further added, “Repair workers may now concentrate on their work and order parts in advance without having to leave the facility. We just added a specialized smartphone selling section to the platform, allowing any mobile seller to register and start a digital store in a matter of minutes. We don't charge a hefty fee, and the sellers gain exposure to a huge number of buyers searching to purchase a smartphone that meets their needs.

Umair believes that the secret of being a successful entrepreneur is to believe in their potential and work persistently to manifest it into reality. He works with the motto that problems are seen by most people as distractions that cause them to miss work, yet successful entrepreneurs discover ways to overcome them. This astute entrepreneur always tries to think outside the box, figuring out how to bounce back from failure, move on, and try again without giving up.
