Xiaomi is considering going public

Xiaomi is second only to Uber in terms of how much people are anticipating its IPO, and although CEO Lei Jun has made it abundantly clear that his company isn’t preparing to go public, he admitted for the first time on Thursday that Xiaomi is at least considering an IPO. He reaffirmed his belief that Xiaomi shouldn’t go public anytime soon, but since there are plenty of employees and investors that don’t share that belief, he said the company hasn’t ruled out an IPO.
