Bangalore, September 17, 2019: Older readers may recall a classic Tata advertisement  whose catchline was "We also make steel",  pointing at the very wide categories of business carried out by the company.  
Maybe Xiaomi,  should do likewise and say: "We also make smartphones" -- because the  top selling phone brand in India is these days  into a number of consumer products  from  security cameras to  routers, to  air purifiers to health wearables to television sets. 
It has rapidly become the India’s number one smart TV brand , having sold some 3 million since 2018 when it launched sales in this country.
