Manu Kumar Jain has been the go-to Xiaomi head in India for many years. He took over the position after Hugo Barra left for newer pastures. Since then, Jain has been the instrumental figure in the rise of the brand, to become the leading name in various categories. But since his move to the global team, Xiaomi has made a slew of changes to the management in India.
It had appointed Alvin Tse as General Manager last month. Anuj Sharma was brought back into the fold as the Chief Marketing Officer for the company. “They have been leading the India business fairly independently and will continue to be a strong driving force behind the brand,” the company had said in a statement.
