China's top smartphone vendor Xiaomi Inc announced on Monday that it has invested $25 million in India's Hungama Digital Media Entertainment, along with Intel Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Indian billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala.

"As our user base grows and 4G penetration continues picking up in India, we will start to see more and more consumption of digital media through Xiaomi devices. We are investing in Hungama not only to start integrating content into our smartphones, but also to grow together with them and deepen our understanding of the content sector in India," said Hugo Barra, vice-president of Xiaomi.

Barra launched the Mi 5, Xiaomi's latest flagship devices in the India market on March 31.
