The announcement was made by Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain. Citing IDC reports, the Xiaomi exec disclosed that the monumental feat was achieved in the period starting in Q3 2014 until July 2019. He also disclosed that the Redmi A series and the Redmi Note series contributed significantly to this feat. The sales also include those from sub-brands such as the Poco F series.
For a company that entered the Indian market in 2014, this feat is indeed a wonderful one. To put it in a statistical perspective, 100 million phones sold in 5 years translates to an average of 20 million phones per year, 1.67 million phones per month, 55,000 phones sold each day. It also means the company sold an average of 2.3k phones by the hour and 38 smartphones each minute or 2phones each second. We won’t need to look beyond the pricing and build quality of Xiaomi phones to see why the company has continued to achieve success in India where it has ranked as the number 1 smartphone vendor for the past five quarters.
