The push into India is part of Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun’s drive to deliver a fivefold boost in sales, up to 100 million units next year.Flipkart announced in a press release that Xiaomi’s “Mi3 stock was sold out in 38 minutes and 50 seconds.”A glance at the smartphone pricing chart of India tells the story. Xiaomi (pronounced show me) has a reputation for creating high-quality smartphone designs that sell for $250 and below, competing with 80% of the devices sold in India.
