Despite boycott, China’s Xiaomi sells record 10 lakh handsets in India in 18 days

Despite boycott calls of Chinese goods in India, Beijing headquartered smartphone maker Xiaomi has sold a record one million (10 lakh) smartphones in India in 18 days during the Diwali festive season.

Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi, said that the company now aims at becoming largest smartphone vendor in India, the world's fastest growing handset market, in the next three to five years.

“India is an extremely important market in Xiaomi's globalisation strategy. It has become our largest market outside of the Chinese mainland,” Lei said.

The announcement comes after its arch-rival Huawei Technologies Company Limited said it would start assembling phones in India from October.

The move highlights Xiaomi's latest efforts to revive declining sales as the Chinese smartphone market, its home turf, is reaching saturation, state-run China Daily reported.

It came in the midst of anxieties among Chinese investors over growing calls for boycott of Chinese goods in India following China's blocking of India's move to ban JeM chief Masood Azhar at the UN and blocking India's bid to become the member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

According to Lei, as of Tuesday, the firm has sold one million smartphones within 18 days in October in the run-up to Diwali, the biggest festival in India.

In September, Xiaomi became the third-largest smartphone vendor within India's top 30 cities with 8.4 per cent market share, the firm quoted data from International Data Corporation (IDC) as saying.

"We will continue investing in India-expanding our supply, and further improving our after-sales service," Lei said.

Launched in 2010, Xiaomi achieved a rapid rise by seizing the e-commerce boom in China to sell handsets directly to consumers. But as online sales of smartphones peak, it is struggling with declining sales and facing mounting pressure from rivals such as Oppo and Vivo, the report said.

Sir, to be honest, China has never put India as an enemy, and this can be seen from China's main power which is still concentrated in the eastern region.

I love how Indian members here keep trying to justify their efforts at boycotting Chinese goods, and the Chinese members just keep posting Chinese products as responses lol

In all seriousness. China DOES NOT want to fight India AT ALL. There's nothing but loses if China makes an enemy out of India. Let me give you the most obvious example. It's so easy to see what PRC thinks about a specific country by looking Xi's facial expression during handshakes between Xi and another leader.

Here's Xi with someone he doesn't like

and here's with someone he likes

Here's with Modi

You decide.

Yoga businessman Baba Ramdev recently asked for a boycott of Chinese products, citing China's reported loyalties to Pakistan instead of India.

In an interview to the Indian Express. this week, he has explained it further. "China makes money out of India and helps Pakistan".

He still didn't turn down the proposition of yoga camps, as well as a Patanjali unit in Pakistan.
This, despite publicly stating that Hafiz Saeed, a foremost Pakistani leader in Kashmir's separatist struggles, should be eliminated in surgical strikes on Pakistani soil.

Surprisingly, the Swadeshi obsession seems missing from the life of Acharya Balkrishna, Ramdev's most trusted'aid and CEO of Patanjali. Balkrishna, valued at 25,000 crore Rupees travels in a black and white Range Rover and uses an iPhone.

iPhones are manufactured in China, and talks of India manufacturing plants will use the input of Chinese tech maker Foxconn.

Boycotting from a lower vantage point never works.

US can economically provide negative incentives. Although China has never done (fully), it can also put serious strain on a country's economy.

You should be able to sanction, not boycott. Boycotting is a sign of weakness.

If one country is on the bottom of value-added manufacturing and on the receiving end of most high-circulating production, boycotting hurts one's own interests.

Remember for how many centuries Middle Eastern countries have been boycotting Coca Cola. Yet, because they act from a lower vantage point, people still got to go buy an ice cold good ole' Coke to break fast.

Indian segment that is working to create a anti-China current is swimming against the wave. In this world, buyers have less power than sellers as you climb up the value chain.
