Consumer electronics maker Xiaomi Corporation has turned 9 year old today as company founders celebrate with a kick off of the Mi Fan Festival today on April 6th. On this same day in 2010, ex-Kingsoft CEO Lei Jun founded Xiaomi with 14 people in a small room in Beijing. The initial focus was to create a custom ROM based on Google’s Android. That’s what Xiaomi’s “Mi” logo also stands for which is Mobile Internet. It means that Xiaomi is at its core a software company that later branched out to hardware.
