I am grateful to Xiaomi’s leadership for their guidance, to my peers and team members for their support, and to our partners and Xiaomi fans who have been integral to our success.”
The company’s leadership structure remains robust with Sudhin Mathur continuing as COO, bringing over three decades of industry experience. The management team includes other key leaders: Sameer Rao as CFO, Varun Madan as CPO, and Anuj Sharma as CMO, who will collectively drive Xiaomi’s future growth and innovation initiatives in India.
Looking ahead, Xiaomi India reaffirms its commitment to expanding its product ecosystem and delivering innovative technology solutions in the Indian market. The company aims to maintain its position as a leading player in the consumer electronics landscape.
