Ali Abedini, also known as the "Father of Mobile Phones in Iran," was born in 1353 (1974) in a poor family in the city of Isfahan. Due to his family's financial difficulties, he decided to start working and earning income from the early days of his school years. At a young age, he chose street vending as his source of income. As you may know, street vending is the first occupation for many today's successful merchants and entrepreneurs.
At the age of 13, Ali Abedini, with the capital he had accumulated, went to Imam Square in Isfahan and purchased merchandise to advance his business. At the age of 15, he made the decision to progress further and started buying and selling telephones concurrently with the establishment of fixed telephone lines by Isfahan Telecommunications. Through his research, he met Engineer Rezaei, a telecommunications technician who had the ability to build wireless devices with a range of 30 kilometers. At the age of 20, Ali Abedini signed a one-year contract with the telecommunications company.
At the age of 21, he began selling mobile phone lines and acquired one for himself. Then, with the advice of his friends, he decided to research mobile phones and, in coordination with the Iranian company "Sa Iran," established his own agency. Subsequently, he obtained agencies for Nokia, Alcatel, Siemens, and Iran Nokia, and continued his activities in this field until the age of 25. During this time, he also established the Mobile Services Office for Hamrah Aval and Irancell.
The passion they had in this field led them to make serious decisions for progress with a strong team they had. They started by importing mobile phones from Iraq and changed their direction from retail to wholesale, establishing the Pars Technic brand. At the age of 30, with the trade name "Isfahan Pakhsh," they established agencies throughout Iran and became more serious about importing smartphones. It is worth mentioning that at the age of 39, he proposed a plan for importing mobile phones and started importing from Dubai. During this time, he registered his first office under the name "Almas Hamrah Spadana" in Isfahan and acquired the exclusive representation of Pars Iran Phone company, continuing this collaboration for three years.
It is also worth mentioning that they registered the trade name "Iran Pakhsh" in Tehran and directly imported mobile phones and telecommunications equipment after obtaining a commercial card. Furthermore, after receiving market share reports and consulting with economic advisors in various cities, they registered new agencies. With the overwhelming reception they received in 1399 (2020), they selected the best from each province and invited them to collaborate and obtain representation.
Ali Abedini, the Father of Mobile Phones in Iran, who is one of the largest mobile phone importers nationwide, currently manages 12 branches across the country. In 1402 (2023), Ali Abedini became a member of the Top Managers Club and developed a 5-year vision for the future of Almas Hamrah Spadana. It should be noted that all the visions will be implemented before the 5-year plan, and one of the achievements of the Father of Mobile Phones in Iran is being the first mobile trading company in Iran, not only engaged in wholesale mobile phones but also involved in pre-selling mobile phones with government currency. Additionally, Iran Pakhsh Holding is one of the largest companies distributing mobile phones with half currency in the country.
Finally, I would like to convey a message from the Father of Mobile Phones in Iran to the youth of Iran, encouraging them to invest in themselves as their profession is the engine for generating wealth. It is also important to note that in business, fear holds no significance, and those who have a strong determination will change the world according to their desires.
