Amazon's Great Indian Festival and Flipkart's Big Billion Days Sale are set to begin for all users in India on September 23. A wide range of items, including personal gadgets and other electronic items, will be available at considerably lower prices during the sales. Ahead of the upcoming e-commerce site sales, a senior Xiaomi India executive addressed the confusion around online purchases, clarifying that customers should buy only from authorised sellers on Amazon and Flipkart to ensure product authenticity and valid after-sales services.
Sandeep Sarma (X: @sandeep9sarma), Associate Director of Marketing and PR at Xiaomi India, urged customers to buy Xiaomi products only from authorised sellers on Amazon and Flipkart in an X (formerly Twitter) post. He explained that purchases from these sellers guarantee genuine products, while items from non-authorised sellers may be pre-used, refurbished, or counterfeit, which could affect after-sales service and warranty coverage.
A poster shared by Sarma reveals that Darshita Mobiles & Green Mobiles are authorised resellers for Xiaomi smartphones on Amazon India. Xiaomi tablets and smart TVs are available on the site through Clicktech Retail and Dawntech Electronics, respectively. Other genuine Xiaomi accessories and ecosystem products can be bought from Clicktech Retail, Cocoblu Retail, Kay Kay Overseas Corporation and RetailEZ.
Meanwhile, on Flipkart, Xiaomi smartphones can be purchased via retailers like Mythanglory and Akshnav. On the other hand, Treasure EVERretailer, RetailNet, OmniTechRetail and MTAILMODEECOM are authorised Xiaomi accessories and ecosystem products resellers.
