About Realme
Founded on May 4, 2018, by Sky Li (Li Bingzhong) and co-founder Madhav Sheth, Realme emerged from Oppo as an independent spinoff to become the world's fastest-growing smartphone brand. Based in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, this multinational consumer electronics manufacturer was established with the mission to 'let young users around the world enjoy tech experiences that exceed expectations' and the vision to 'become a healthy and sustainable enterprise.' Under the leadership of founder and CEO Sky Li, who previously served as vice president of Oppo, Realme rapidly expanded from a regional brand to a global technology powerhouse serving over 300 million users across 61 markets worldwide within just three years of founding. The company's comprehensive product ecosystem extends beyond smartphones to include earphones, fitness bands, bags, and various consumer electronics, targeting young technology consumers with a brand philosophy centered on being 'Young, High-tech, Confident, Energetic.' With impressive growth metrics showing 157% annual growth rate and ranking 7th globally in smartphone production by 2020, Realme achieved remarkable market penetration, becoming the fourth largest smartphone brand in India and maintaining a significant presence across Asia, Europe, Oceania, Middle East, and Africa. The company operates with over 310 million global social media followers and continues its expansion under Sky Li's leadership following Madhav Sheth's transition to strategic advisor role in 2023.
