Chinese electronics manufacturer Xiaomi has launched its ‘Mi Crowdfunding‘ program in India as part of the ongoing Xiaomi Mi Fan Festival. The new crowdfunding platform will allow the company to decide which products it should release in the country. As part of the program, Xiaomi will add a curated list of innovation-driven products on its website and will sell them in the country only when a number of people back the campaign. In case a product doesn’t reach its funding goals, it won’t be shipped and the backers will receive their money back.
Taking part in a crowdfunding program is quite simple, all you need to do is click on the ‘Support now’ button on a particular campaign you like, pay for the product within the stipulated deadline using your choice of online payment mode, wait for the campaign to reach its goal, and get priority delivery of the product once the campaign is successful.
