In 2020, the brand partnered with "Buddy4Study" and pledged Rs 2 crore for scholarships under the Mi Scholarship programme, offering scholarships to 5,000 underprivileged students for higher education.

This initiative provided education to underprivileged children in the country and enabled them to access digital learning through smartphones, ensuring equal opportunities for quality learning.

This initiative bridged the digital divide and enabled these children to access online education, ensuring continuity in their learning journeys.

Reaffirming its commitment to conserving the environment, the company collaborated with the Isha Foundation for the "Cauvery Calling" campaign. Through this initiative, the brand planted 1.8 lakh trees, addressing critical issues such as deforestation, soil erosion, and water scarcity for two consecutive years in 2019 and 2020.
Xiaomi India also partnered with United Way India to empower rural communities in the Palghar district of Maharashtra with sustainable energy solutions.
This intervention will enable multiple efforts such as zero wood/zero fossil fuel cooking, clean water, sustainable agriculture leading to net-zero energy communities for over 1,500 people across five villages.
Recognizing the importance of empowering marginalized communities, it partnered with United Way India to strengthen the skills and employability of transgender individuals. This collaborative project aims to foster inclusive environments, providing necessary training and assistance for transgender persons to lead fulfilling lives.
Xiaomi India has also partnered with GlobalHunt Foundation to support skill development in mobile repair. It partnered with the Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India (EDII), Ahmedabad for Project SPARK.
Furthermore, Xiaomi India has introduced Innovative Tinkering Labs (ITL) in collaboration with United Way India.
