Manu Kumar Jain, Xiaomi Global VP
Manu Kumar Jain vacated his position as Global VP at Xiaomi, although his name was lately linked with breaching India’s foreign exchange laws. India’s Enforcement Directorate is looking into the relationship between the Chinese company and its Indian division and royalty payments flowing both ways, and the now-former executive operated from Dubai in the past few years.
During Jain’s time at Xiaomi India, the company became the top smartphone brand “without spending any advertising money”, the executive added. The branch’s expansion generated more than 50,000 jobs, and “100% of smartphones and Smart TVs” were Made in India, another campaign Jain took credit for.
