During his tenure at Xiaomi India, the executive oversaw the company’s growth at various levels – from expanding the company’s offline retail channels to partnering with Dixon Technologies to produce its smartphones in the country by 2023.

He was also at the helm when Xiaomi India faced intense scrutiny from government agencies in 2022 over alleged illegal royalty payments. In June 2023, officials of the company and three banks in India were issued a warning by the Enforcement Directorate for alleged FEMA violations.

Xiaomi has announced that Chief Operating Officer Sudhin Mathur (former Managing Director at Motorola, Lenovo) will oversee key functions in India, along with other executives such as CFO Sameer Rao, CPO Varun Madan and CMO Anuj Sharma.

“My experience at Xiaomi India has been one of the most fulfilling chapters of my career. The values ​​of sincerity and passion that Xiaomi embodies have been at the heart of our journey. I am extremely proud of what we have achieved together in such a dynamic market. I am grateful to Xiaomi’s leadership for their guidance, my colleagues and team members for their support, and our partners and Xiaomi fans who have been integral to our success,” Muralikrishnan B said in a prepared statement.
