Xiaomi India President Muralikrishnan B has resigned from his role at the firm, according to a report. The executive joined the company in 2018, and was elevated to the role of president in 2022.

Xiaomi India is yet to publicly respond to the media reports of the executive’s exit, or announce his successor.
