Launch of Xiaomi in India, Personally I call it a kind of mobile revolution in India. It is the company who believes on spending small amount of money on marketing also they come with unique marketing style. Though their marketing strategy is not common now as most of other companies are following their footsteps. But because of this marketing they are able to sale devices of high specifications in a low price, I guess perfect word is "affordabe" here. With this marketing strategy and Innovations which everyone can enjoy, Mi India was launched on 15th July 2014 at an event in Delhi.Today, Company is completing its 1 year journey in India. Just before one year Hugo Barra ( V.P, Xiaomi Global) and Manu Kumar Jain (G.M, Mi India) had a media event where they announced Mi India officially.
