According to the letter that was posted on Xiaomi’s official Facebook page, the Chinese company has reportedly made a sale of 1 million Xiaomi smartphone units in just 18 days in the country.

Apart from praising Hugo Barra (Vice President of Xiaomi) and Manu Kumar Jain’s (Xiaomi India’s Head) effort at furthering the Mi brand in India, the letter also outlines the important milestones that Xiaomi has achieved in a span of one year in India.

‘India is an extremely important market in Xiaomi's globalisation strategy. It has become our largest market outside of mainland China. I am confident that with the sustained efforts of our entire Xiaomi family, we will be able to capture the largest market share in India within 3-5 years,’ Jun said in his letter.
