Xiaomi has been having a great time in India. Its Indian success story came to light late last year when it became the No 1 smartphone brand in the country. Manu Jain, President Xiaomi India, attributed its success to a good team and unbeatable prices. Now, the company has gotten to another level in India. After launching the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro in India last week, the company went commercial today with these devices on Flipkart and its own e-commerce platform in the country. Well, the sales ended as soon as it started because all 3 million units of these smartphones sold out in less than three minutes.
