Chinese
smartphone maker Xiaomi said on Thursday it will open 100 stores in
India this year to help consumers in the world’s third-largest
smartphone market “experience” the company’s devices, but will not sell
them at these stores.
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.
