New Delhi, May 3 (IANS): The last three pandemic years, which confined millions inside their homes in India, has seen the emergence of a redefined smart and connected living in the country.

People who stayed at home, and are now part of a hybrid workforce, need a smarter and more connected ecosystem than ever and Xiaomi India, with its one-of-its-kind 'Smartphone x AIoT' strategy -- a comprehensive connection and mutual empowerment between AIoT and smartphones -- has transformed many lives in the country.

Be it large or nuclear families, or students and working professionals living alone, everyone is looking for affordable and meaningful upgrades to their existing devices in India. Xiaomi, which entered the Indian market in 2014, has changed the market landscape and the way consumers use technology in their daily lives.

According to the company, the users are at the heart of everything it does and hopes to bring products that help create and enhance their experiences

"Over the past eight years, we have focused on becoming a technologically innovative brand with a business model that led to technological advancements. We are currently the leading Smartphone and top Smart TV brand in the country," said the company.

Xiaomi, which disrupted other industries and markets by offering futuristic tech in the country and a pioneer in pushing the Smarter Living narrative, has established the world's leading consumer AIoT (AI+IoT) platform.

Xiaomi is the leading AIoT platform in the world with more than 558 million smart devices connected to its platform (excluding smartphones, laptops and tablets).

"Since our inception, we at Xiaomi India have thrived to bring innovative, futuristic technology to our customers. Catering to their demands, our vision has always been to deliver on our 'Innovation for Everyone' philosophy for a Smarter Living, thereby bolstering our smart connected devices portfolio," according to Anuj Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer at Xiaomi India.

To further bolster its AIoT vision in India, the company has now launched Xiaomi Smart Air Purifier 4 series and Xiaomi RVC Mop 2i in the country.

The Smart Air Purifier 4 launched at an introductory price of Rs 13,999, while the Robot Vacuum Mop 2i launched at an introductory price of Rs 16,999.

Moreover, the air purifier offers clean air across the room with Triple Air Layer Filtration.

Adopting the Xiaomi High-Efficiency filter as a core filter, the smart air purifier efficiently removes up to 99.97 per cent of particles as small as 0.3 microns, thereby keeping the room fresh and clean, according to the company.

The new Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Mop 2i is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop combo that comes with a minimalistic design with a height of 81.3mm, making it a smart all-in-one cleaning solution for homes.

The new line-up features a powerful 40-Watt speaker system with support for Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X technology that allows users' senses to get enveloped in the immersive sound and discover new levels of detail.

Xiaomi India is now focused on the agenda of bettering lives, with a new and refined 'Smartphone x AIoT' strategy for 2023.

The vision is to build an ecosystem centred on smartphones. With the Xiaomi smartphone as the core, the company also launched smart eco-friendly products such as wearable devices, smart home appliances and air purifiers (as the air around us continues to deteriorate).

"We have launched various AIoT-enabled devices in the last year and have received tremendous support from our users for categories like Smart Security cameras, Robo vacuum cleaner, and air purifiers, among others," the company informed.

As the appetite for connected devices increases among users, acewe will continue to innovate and bring meaningful innovation to our consumers in India in 2023," it added.
