Xiaomi has not disclosed the amount that Ratan Tata has invested in the mobile company, which is currently the world’s most valued start-up at $45 billion.

In India, Xiaomi recently launched the Mi 4i smartphone and the company claims that more than 25,000 customers have registered to purchase the phone. The smartphone goes on sale on Flipkart on 30 April, and Xiaomi will later open it up for sales to other platforms like Snapdeal, Amazon as well.

Mi 4i has a 5-inch 1080p Full HD screen with the all-new Sunlight Display, 2nd-generation Snapdragon 615 Octa-core 64-bit processor designed by Qualcomm India, and is a 4G dual-SIM device. It has a 13MP camera, two-tone flash, and a 5Mp front camera.

Xiaomi has priced the smartphone at Rs 12,999 which is much less than the earlier Mi 4 which was priced at Rs 19,999. Xiaomi also launched the new Mi Band in India for Rs 999.
