Meet the man behind the popular e-commerce platform Gsm Player: Umair Abubakkar

“To succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”– Bill Cosby

Umair Abubakkar is the brains behind “Gsm Player”, an e-commerce portal that has completely revolutionized the way businesses work. Despite being a niche e-commerce solution that deals with procurement and selling of repair materials of smartphones, Gsm Player has no visible competitors with the same amount of flexibility and diversity of options in terms of products and sellers. The platform is home to thousands of sellers that deal in repair elements of smartphones. Recently, e-commerce branched out to numerous computer and smartphone accessories and even software solutions that can be purchased and delivered at the buyer’s doorstep without any inconvenience.

Umair Abubakkar extensively worked with individual clients in his early twenties and developed tailored e-commerce solutions for them. As his experience grew and his finances became stable, he began pondering upon the idea of creating a niche e-commerce platform that could help broaden the scope of digitization to the masses. Gsm Player rolled out a couple of years later and has since become the top marketplace for selling and buying technology repair materials, new smartphones, and accessories.

Umair Abubakar explains the change that Gsm Player brought to the existing business owners. He says, ” Products and services are easy to obtain but when it comes to repair and manufacturing industry, there isn’t a great digital solution available apart from Gsm Player. Earlier, business owners had to run to shops and obtain parts to repair smartphones and gadgets and had to return empty-handed most times due to the surge in demand because of the pandemic. Gsm Player offers a convenient method to buy these elements for a fraction of the price, all while showing availability and ensuring timely delivery. Now repair professionals can focus on their work and can order parts in advance without leaving shops.

We recently added a dedicated smartphone selling section that allows any mobile seller to register on the platform and launch their digital store in a few minutes. We do not charge an exorbitant sum and the sellers get exposure to a large chunk of consumers looking to buy a smartphone of their preferences.
