The head of India operations at Xiaomi – Manu Jain said, “This will be the first time that we’re getting into offline trade in India. In China, about 20-30% of total sales through come from telecom operator’s stores while the rest comes from our online store – Mi.com.”
According to the reports, The Mobile Store outlets will also work as service centers for the Xiaomi phones. So far, the company had been retailing its device only via its exclusive India partner, Flipkart.
