UniverCell Velachery Chennai

Mr. D. Sathish Babu founded UniverCell in November, 1997, selling post paid mobile connections as a Skycell Teleshop (now AirTel Connect). Studying the buying behavior of his customers, Sathish understood that what consumers really wanted was to make intelligent and informed shopping decisions in an ambience that combined both comfort and a high degree of service. In February 2000, using savings and some capital from family, Sathish opened Chennai''s first large-format mobile retail store in an upscale location in Chennai, India. Since then, Sathish and UniverCell have been cresting the wave of the Indian mobile revolution from the retailing front, growing and evolving to become India''s largest mobile retailer and one of India''s best known brands. A strong believer in mind share, Sathish Babu has consistently promoted the UniverCell brand through the various mass media available to him. Using a clever mix of targeted advertising campaigns and promotions aimed at localities as well as generations, UniverCell is well entrenched in the hearts and minds of the Indian consumer. One can see and feel its presence through its large format retail outlets as well as in print, television, cinema, special event promotions, billboards and FM radio.
