How Xiaomi Became an Internet of Things Powerhouse

When Xiaomi entered the fiercely competitive smartphone market in 2010, it did so without even offering a real phone. The company only offered a free Android-based operating system (OS). Yet, within seven years, Xiaomi became one of the world’s largest smartphone makers, reaching $15 billion in revenue. Accelerating its growth rate, Xiaomi transformed into the world’s largest consumer IoT (Internet of Things) firm by 2020, with its revenue surpassing $37 billion and more than 210 million IoT devices (excluding smartphones and laptops) sold across more than 90 countries.

How was Xiaomi able to grow so explosively and what lessons can other companies learn from Xiaomi’s rise?

#SkyTeamLounge at Vancouver. The sheer incompetence of screening this morning left me flabbergasted! 10 minutes of fiddling with each passenger's boarding card to check them in. Seriously, this is 2024! Should be smooth and automated. Given long queue, we never made it!
