Xiaomi has launched the Mi Express Kiosk initiative under which customers in India can purchase Xiaomi smartphones and mobile accessories without much hassle.
This initiative was launched on Monday by Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, who is visiting India right now.
The Mi Express Kiosk is designed to accept all forms of payments across credit cards, debit cards, cash, and UPI, making it convenient and hassle-free for customers to purchase their smartphones.
The first Mi Kiosk has been installed at Manyata Tech Park, Bengaluru and Xiaomi India head Manu Kumar Jain tweeted out a picture showcasing the announcement. Xiaomi’s founder Lei Jun was also present when this Mi Express Kiosk was revealed.
By launching these vending machines, Xiaomi views it as a new innovative retail strategy in reaching out to its customers directly, “eliminating operational and cost inefficiencies for the consumers.”
As far as prices of products go, each device available at a Mi Express Kiosk will be offered at the same price as on Mi.com and Mi Homes.
The company aims to set up several more kiosks in the coming months, and gradually expand the retail plan across more cities.
For now, Mi Express Kiosks can be found in metro cities only. These kiosks will be located in areas with larger daily footfall such as tech parks, metro stations, airports, and shopping malls.
