Mi POP is a unique event created by Xiaomi to bring together Mi Fans from across the country for a day where they get to engage and celebrate with the Xiaomi executives exclusively. The company has been organizing Mi POP events since 2012 across the globe.

An excited bunch of Mi Fans along with the Xiaomi team participated in several activities that were lined up for Mi Fans. From quizzes to lucky draws, multiple engaging acts took place where many Mi Fans got a chance to win exciting goodies and Xiaomi merchandise. Mi Fans and top contributors of the Mi Community also performed at Mi POP and were rewarded by the Xiaomi team.

A significant highlight of this spectacular evening was a musical performance by the very popular singer-songwriter Tanzir Tuhin. Tuhin was an instant hit with the Mi Fans and the whole crowd cheered for him as he performed his popular songs Pakhi and Bondho Janala.

In Bangladesh the Mi Community currently has over 100,000 registered users today, making Xiaomi one of the top brands to have such a strong community of fans in the country. Several online and offline activities are organized from time to time to keep the Mi fans engaged which include various contests, Fan meets, social posts for engagement among others.
