LinkedIn members in India will soon have a platform where they can physically meet up. Jeff Weiner, CEO of the online networking site, revealed this and a lot more on a recent visit to India.
- LinkedIn has a membership of 48 million members, with a 50-50 split between the US and international members. The site should cross 3 million members in India by the time you read this.
- LinkedIn is reaching out to a more diverse membership, trying to attract new professions beyond information technology workers and management consultants who use the service aggressively.
- In India, LinkedIn is looking at starting eLinkedIn Livef events, where LinkedIn members can interact in real life, by sometime next year.
- And finally, LinkedIn is already selling advertising space in India and plans to sell itself more aggressively once it hires a country manager. India will then be LinkedInfs third country operation outside the US and the UK.
