Will Xiaomi no longer be exclusively available on Flipkart and Snapdeal?

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi is mulling to sell its mobilephones through its own e-Commerce platform, Mi.com.

Though it has no immediate plans to trim offerings with retail partners Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal, but Xiaomi wants to grow its e-Commerce business too.

"Xiaomi is keen to sell more products in India through Mi.com and grow its ecommerce business. The company would scale up Mi.com without artificially constraining sales through partner sites like Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal,” Manu Jain, India operations head, told ET.

Xiaomi's Mi Store app, which was launched in July on Google Play, is gaining popularity and has been downloaded over a million times in barely two months.

The Mi Store app allows people to browse and buy Xiaomi devices on the go.

Over 90% of Xiaomi's products in India are sold online, majorly through partner sites. In China, roughly 70% of its sales are online and primarily through Mi.com.

Xiaomi's step to promote sales through Mi.com comes ahead of its plans to manufacture in India in the next two years.

Last month, Xiaomi announced a partnership with Foxconn Technology Group of Taiwan to Make in India.
