Xiaomi, whose low-priced but feature-rich
smartphones have made it the biggest smartphone vendor in China,
entered India in July and sells its phones primarily through
flash sales on online retailer Flipkart.com.
The 'service and experience stores' would be set up over 500 to
1,000 square feet and will launch in cities including Hyderabad,
Chennai and Bangalore in the first week of April, Manu Jain,
Xiaomi's India head, told reporters in New Delhi at the launch
of the company's latest budget smartphone.
Though the company started selling its Redmi Note 4G handsets
through outlets of the country's top carrier Bharti Airtel Ltd
in January, it is not in "active discussions with any other
offline partner", Jain said.
