Xiaomi entered India back in 2014 and since then, it has built one of the largest local supply chains. However, the parent company is from China and several internal components come from other countries. So, if you are curious about Xiaomi's country of origin and where your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone was actually manufactured, follow our in-depth explainer below.
Xiaomi and Redmi Belong to Which Country?
To put it straight, Xiaomi (also known as Mi) is a Chinese company and it was founded in 2010 by Lei Jun along with other co-founders. The company is headquartered in Beijing and it has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since July 2018. As of 2026, Xiaomi is the third-largest smartphone vendor in the world with around 12% global market share, behind only Apple and Samsung.
As for Redmi phones, these were launched as Xiaomi's budget product line back in 2013, but in 2019, Xiaomi created Redmi as an independent sub-brand under the Xiaomi Group. That said, even after the split, Redmi remains fully owned by Xiaomi Corporation in Beijing.
Poco also has a similar story. It debuted in 2018 with the legendary POCO F1 and in 2017, it had a separate identity. Poco India still runs its own team and website, but Poco's global website has been merged with Xiaomi's global website.
To sum up, while the phones may be assembled in India, Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco are all Chinese brands owned by the same parent.
