Xiaomi India was recently awarded the ISO 9001:2015 certification for distributor selection and onboarding process for offline distribution.

Started back in 2017 as an online brand, Xiaomi India now has the single largest offline exclusive brand presence in the country, said a release from the company. Xiaomi India has over 350+ distribution partners spread across 679 districts in the country. With the certification, both Xiaomi and its partners will be able to get help in enhancing the customer experience, streamlining the process, and more, which will ultimately result in greater partner growth and satisfaction.
