Mohamed Ghazal, the co-founder of Orill, demonstrates true excellence in sourcing items from all over the globe, maintaining connections with producers and dealing with the supply chain’s major sharks.
Early Days
Ghazal credits his father Adv Moideen for the nurturing upbringing that shaped him into a go-getter from his school days to now. He also testifies that his mentor and late father-in-law, Dr Ibrahim taught him everything he knows about the intricacies of the corporate world.
After settling in Dubai in 2012 with his wife, Shafeenas Ibrahim, Ghazal joined the DOCIB healthcare company founded by his father-in-law.
Dr Ibrahim encouraged Ghazal to be open to new ideas, take calculated chances, and strive for success. After Dr Ibrahim’s sad demise in 2016, DOCIB healthcare was restructured.
Wanting to unlock the opportunity in his then-fledgling brand of Orill, Ghazal, an aspiring entrepreneur, shifted his undivided focus towards Ori!! to further establish its stand in the market.
He recognised a niche market in the O&G industry and began operations here. He outsourced high-quality goods and services from different nations, refined his business strategy, and soon founded Orill Oilfield Supplies.
Clocking Positive Business Growth
Orill has an agile business model with a steadfast focus on consumer needs, desires, and behaviour patterns. Its competitive edge is its 24-hour time-to-market.
The company constantly innovates and expands its portfolio. It is now offering technology solutions to meet the changing consumer desires and consumption patterns.
Another key differentiator is its pure-play strategy in sourcing the best items for the clients. Five years down the lane, the company has clocked 35 per cent growth in 2021 amidst the pandemic years.
Ghazal aims to expand into commodity production, which he now outsources to various nations, notably the US. He also plans to expand Orill’s service offerings. But even today, Orill continues to grow its capabilities by adding services, partnerships and investments, making it a one-stop shop with delighted clientele.
The Man Behind The Business
When faced with challenges, Ghazal has a stoic attitude rooted i n calm contemplation. He testifies that this helps him find solutions quickly to problems. He has a never-give-up mindset that has seen him manoeuvre many pitfalls.
Ghazal observes that young people have the vitality and drive to achieve anything they want, with the right motivation. So, when he co founded Orill with Gopinath PG, he hired youth and freshers and invested in properly training, mentoring and rewarding them.
