Xiaomi has achieved tremendous success in the Asian country since it officially entered the market roughly eight years ago. In 2019, the company announced that it had sold 100 million smartphones in five years. At the Redmi 50i launch event, the company announced that it has shipped 200 million smartphones to India to date.
This is a new milestone for the Chinese tech giant and interestingly, it took just about 3 years to sell over 100 million phones as against 5 years for the first 100 million shipments in the South Asian country.
Xiaomi also disclosed that 15 5G smartphones have been released under its name within the last year. Although 5G connectivity is yet to roll out in India, the release of the 5G smartphones in the Indian market is a dress rehearsal toward the full rollout of 5G connectivity. The release of 5G phones may have contributed to the increased sales of the Mi phones.
2⃣0⃣0⃣ Million Strong 💪

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.
Xiaomi India recently announced a leadership reshuffle that saw the company’s chief operating officer Muralikrishnan B promoted to president effective from August 1, 2022. It is expected that this reshuffle will result in increased sales volume.
