Behind every successful company lies a philosophy that defines its culture. For Mohammed Fazil, Founder of GLS Displays, that philosophy is rooted in humility, resilience, and customer-first thinking. While his company is known today as one of India’s leading LED display providers, the true story of GLS goes far beyond screens and technology—it is a story of people.
Fazil started GLS in 2015 with limited capital and an unconventional background. With no technical degree, he relied instead on curiosity and passion for electronics. He faced resistance, technical failures, and doubts about credibility. Yet, his persistence and transparent approach won over early clients. Slowly, his reputation for honesty and reliability grew.
At the heart of Fazil’s leadership is his ability to simplify. He has a rare talent for explaining complex technology in a way that clients and teams can easily understand. This skill created trust—not just in his products, but in him as a leader. Employees describe him as approachable, empathetic, and deeply invested in their growth. Clients see him as a partner who prioritizes their success over quick profits.
GLS has created more than just digital displays; it has created opportunities. By focusing on tier-2 and tier-3 cities, the company has brought modern branding tools to businesses previously excluded from the digital wave. Its installations have given small shops, schools, and event organizers a chance to stand out and compete on larger stages. For many, GLS has been the bridge between ambition and access.
Even during personal setbacks and industry challenges, Fazil held on to his values. During tough times, he emphasized consistency, transparent communication, and long-term relationships over short-term gains. These values became the foundation of GLS’s credibility.
The company’s future is equally people-focused. As it expands into IoT-based signage, AI-driven displays, and interactive content, Fazil ensures that usability remains central. His vision is not just to innovate, but to simplify innovation for everyone—so that no business, regardless of size or location, feels left behind.
Awards like the India Business Award 2025 have recognized GLS’s contribution, but for Fazil, the real achievement is the trust of thousands of clients. His inspiration, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, taught him that leadership is about humility and service—principles that resonate through GLS’s culture.
In an industry obsessed with gadgets and features, Fazil’s story reminds us that technology is only as good as the people it empowers. Beyond the screens, GLS Displays is a story of resilience, inclusivity, and human connection—values that ensure its light will keep shining.
