Xiaomi, the most popular Chinese technology brand

What is Xiaomi?

Xiaomi is a company that was founded in June 2010 by 7 very powerful partners that have strong connections with the governments of China and Singapore. Between them are Qiming Venture Partners, IDG Capital and particularly Temasek, an investment group owned by the government of Singapore.

Three years after the creation of Xiaomi, they were already selling more phones within China than Apple, with a market share of 2.5% and a value of 10 billion dollars.
