LinkedIn reaches 10 million members in India
Professional networking site LinkedIn has crossed 10 million members in India. The site, which was launched less than two years ago, says that growth has come through a focus on user experience.
Professional networking site LinkedIn has announced that they have crossed 10 million members, less than two years after the site launched in November 2009. Hari V Krishnan, Country Manager, LinkedIn India, attributed the fast growth of the site to the focus on user experience.
He said, “We have focused our efforts on creating a great user experience for our members, which helps them understand the power of their professional network in developing their own professional brand. As our members here continue to use LinkedIn for everything, from networking and gaining business insights to business development and jobs, we are committed to being the exchange which connects talent to opportunity in India.”
LinkedIn, which has nearly tripled in the number of users in the last one year, also attributed a lot of the success to the rollout of various new features such as Answers, Groups and Polls to engage, collaborate and grow business opportunities across the network, which also helped bring a lot of brands in India, such as Volkswagen, Jet Airways, CNN, ICICI Lombard and HopSim, on to the network’s marketing solutions.
