Anti-Chinese feelings are invading India and so Xiaomi had to run for cover by disguising the signs of the shops scattered around the country, replacing the logo with the wording "Made in India". This simple operation was created to prevent the bad guys from damaging the shops with vandalism, which could also affect the employees.
In fact Xiaomi asked its employees not to wear service uniforms, so as not to instigate people to attack shops and staff. The decision to cover the Xiaomi brand with the "Made in India" logo comes as a suggestion from theAll India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA), which through a letter to major Chinese companies across the country, including OPPO, Vivo, Realme, Lenovo-Motorola, OnePlus and Huawei, expressed concerns about negative feelings from a faction of the country, who see China as an enemy.
Xiaomi hides its logo from all stores in India, due to vandalism
Despite this out-of-the-ordinary situation, retailers claim that smartphone demand has not been negatively affected. The only impact on sales was due to the fact that the various OEMs were unable to assort stocks with sufficient devices, due to the lockdown that has brought the economy of various countries to their knees for months, with the closure of factories and reduced staff.
In fact, we recall that the Chinese telephony brands, according to Counterpoint Research reports, hold 81% of the Indian market, with our beloved Xiaomi in the lead. We do not know at the moment whether simply hiding the Xiaomi logo can save the stores and the staff of such from the malicious actions of some stupid, but in any case we wish all Chinese companies in India to solve this unpleasant situation.
