Xiaomi India has appointed Muralikrishnan B as the President of the company’s Indian operations. Previously, he was the chief operating officer of the company for India. Muralikrishnan has been associated with Xiaomi since 2018.

As the new President of Xiaomi India, Muralikrishnan will be responsible for day-to-day operations, services, public affairs, and strategic projects. He will continue to work towards strengthening the company’s commitment to the Make in India and Digital India initiatives.

Muralikrishnan is an alumnus of IIM-Calcutta and has over 25 years of experience in the Consumer Tech domain. Before joining Xiaomi India, he worked as the India head of eBay and the COO of Jabong India. Muralikrishnan was also the Senior Vice President of Myntra (an Indian e-commerce platform).

“Under Muralikrishnan’s able leadership, the company has witnessed strong growth across categories and has substantially scaled its organizational capabilities, and execution machinery, and built a solid foundation in the offline retail segment,” said Xiaomi India in a press release.

Xiaomi also announced that it will focus on reinforcing its commitment to the country, and will continue to “stay true to its core philosophy of delivering innovation for everyone”. The company confirmed that the new changes will be in effect from August 1, 2022.

Xiaomi has been making some big changes in the leadership roles recently. Last month, the company appointed Alvin Tse as the General Manager of the Indian branch. Xiaomi also bought Anuj Sharma back as its Chief Marketing Officer. These new changes are said to be due to the scrutiny and legal troubles the company is facing from the Enforcement Directorate.
