The company has trained and verified service providers in over 300+ services and a vendor base of 50,000 plus registered vendors who offer quick and professional services. OKSir is an effort to make life convenient to customers and offer livelihood to vendors by enabling both through an easy and convenient mobile app.
It all started with one man's vision way back in the year 1999-2000 - a time when the electronic industry was in a nascent stage. During that time, there were only a handful of electronic stores. In such a scenario, setting up something was way too expensive. Foreseeing that online industry was coming up and the internet was taking pace, Arun Kapoor decided to start something online and that's how gadgetsguru.com was established. He bought the domain and his journey as an entrepreneur took a new turn in the e-commerce industry. Inspired by a real-life incident where he was once locked out of his house, the idea of zeroing in upon creating an on-demand service platform called OKSir took shape. That was the time in 2013-2014, where Amazon and Flipkart were exploring the electronic industry to its core. With similar visualization,
Arun bootstrapped into the industry with his company and is contributing to the electronic industry with sheer dedication till date. This marked the beginning.

Throwing light on the work culture, Arun asserts,“We operate on no-door policy, it is a free-flowing and transparent setup, where the talent is recognized and harvested so that they attain growth and drive the company towards growth. We have a no boss culture, everyone is cultivated into an entrepreneur mindset, with ownership and authority and we have managed to get our people to treat the organization as their own start up.”

And there are many such categories across various segments that are emerging, so the future is bright for the startups,” Arun concludes.
