The company must deliver concrete numbers to investors and the government, facing scrutiny as it breaks new ground. Operationally, Xiaomi has turned around by focusing on the Indian market, despite being a money-losing company with low margins. The future success of its Chinese depositary receipts will depend on its operational performance.
