Xiaomi announces an iconic mix of Vande Mataram to celebrate Independence Day

The remix is orchestrated entirely from Made in India Xiaomi products  Xiaomi India, India’s number one smartphone and smart TV brand has announced an iconic video remix of Vande Mataram on the occasion of India’s 73rd Independence Day. The video has been released as a part of the #CelebrateWithMi campaign paying homage to the national song. The video revolves around the sounds produced by all the “Made in India” Xiaomi products of the company such as smartphones, Mi TVs, Mi Power Bank and Mi Business Backpack. To name a few, sounds produced by the phones like screen lock & unlock, notifications, camera shutter sound, the bass sound produced on other devices have been put together to recreate this iconic track. The song starts with the company’s iconic Xiaomi ringtone and then kicks in the melody created wholly by the use of the products. Addressing the launch of the track, Anuj Sharma, Chief Marketing Officer, Xiaomi India said, “As a brand, Xiaomi is completely committed to being a local brand and this is yet another initiative to celebrate the 73rd Independence Day of India. Make in India is an integral pillar at Xiaomi and has played a critical role in our success in India, and I believe there is no better day and format to honour the country’s progress as a center of manufacturing. We have worked hard to bring another iconic campaign and hopefully it captures the essence of Xiaomi’s “Made in India” products and Nation’s “National Song” – Vande Mataram.” Speaking about this, Omkar Joshi, Business Head & Creative Director, Schbang said "With the Xiaomi India team, we push the boundaries of how we engage with our super Mi Fan Community. And a big part of this has been our constant endeavour to serve them with unique engaging content that they can enjoy and be proud of at the same time. The track was created in-house at Schbang with sounds made off or by the products of Xiaomi that are made in India. The video edit is quirky to showcase these sounds being made. It is our small tribute to India and its diversity. When such distinct elements come together and sync, there is true beautiful harmony." The campaign has been conceptualised and executed by Xiaomi India’s social media team led by Sandeep Sundar Raju, Head – Social Media along with Schbang’s team (digital agency partner) led by Omkar Joshi, Business Head & Creative Director. Xiaomi currently has 7 smartphone manufacturing plants in India with employing over 20,000 people out of which over 95% are women.
