Vadodara's popular iPhone store, Marvans Mobile stays people's favorite
What's the story
One of Vadodara's oldest iPhone stores, Marvans Mobile is the city's most popular stop for all things iPhone.

With over 70,000 followers on social media, Marvans is also one of the rare electronics retail stores to have amassed such amazing fan following and brand value.
Origins
Origins of Marvans Mobile
iPhone and Apple hold massive aspirational value for many, but because of their price-tags, they are not easily accessible. Wahid Badami, fondly called Wahid bhai, changed this by opening a store for selling Apple products at affordable prices. In 2013, the first Marvans Store was opened on OP Road, Vadodara, followed by another store in old city, and an accessories-only store in 2017.
Popularity
How did Marvans become so popular?
Other than the promise of offering iPhones at the most affordable prices, what helps Marvans in reaching more buyers and followers is its unique marketing campaigns, and the amazing customer service offered by the store and the team there. Another important factor for the store's popularity is the dynamic personality and charm of the owner and founder of the store, Wahid Badami.
