Almost everybody in India knows about Xiaomi phones. The Chinese company, which is expanding globally at a fast clip led by former Googler Hugo Barra, has a vibrant fan base in the country.
But did you know that Xiaomi also sells things like suitcases, bedside lamps, rice cookers and many others in China and other markets.
While Xiaomi has started to sell bluetooth speakers and USB fans in India, there’s a whole range that Indian fans are missing out on.
Here are 10 cool things that we’d like to see Xiaomi bring to India.
