Commenting on the launch, Raghu Reddy, Chief Business Officer, Mi India said:
India today has 170 million households with a television but less than 20million homes own Smart TVs. We launched our range of Mi TVs over 3 years ago and have been leading the Smart TV market since the past 10 consecutive quarters. Enhancing the at-home viewing experience, Mi TVs have played an important role in ushering a new era of Smart TVs in India, by providing an unparalleled lineup of options that deliver on engineering, technological prowess, and a large pool of content across genres.
Eshwar Nilakantan, Category Lead – TV, added:
When we looked closely we understood that there are still certain gaps and a huge market potential to be tapped into. With today’s launch, we are focused on moving closer to our dream of providing ‘Smart TV Innovation for every Indian Home’. We believe that our first Redmi TV line-up will be able to drive the next level of Smart TV penetration in the country, thereby making it more accessible to the end users. With Redmi Smart TV X Series, we are bringing larger than life visual experiences and immersive audio experience to the users, and transporting viewers beyond the surface of a display. We will also be manufacturing 100% of our Redmi TVs in India, staying true to our commitment of Make in India.
