Xiaomi Mi Crowdfunding platform launched in India, and here’s how it works.
Xiaomi has launched its ‘Mi crowdfunding’ platform in India through which the company will be selling a selected number of ‘innovation-driven products”. The platform has been launched as part of the ongoing Mi Fan Festival, which will run from April 5 to April 6.
Under the Mi Crowdfunding platform, Xiaomi will curate a handful number of products. However, only after reaching a certain required sale number, the product will be made available to the user. In case the product fails to meet the targeted sales number, customers get their money back. At the moment, Xiaomi is bringing two products to India – Mi Selfie Stick Tripod and Mi Bluetooth Audio Receiver. They are priced in India at Rs 1,099 and Rs 999, respectively.
