LinkedIn Corp, the operator of the world's largest online business networking service, has launched in India a "Lite" version of its website for mobile browsing. Last year, LinkedIn revamped its mobile app after facing heavy criticism for poor design and user experience. To expand their user base, social networking giants including Facebook Inc and Twitter Inc have also launched "lite" versions of their service, which consume less data. LinkedIn launched two more services on Sept 12 – "LinkedIn Placements" is aimed at students looking for jobs while "LinkedIn Starter Pack" will connect startups and small and mid-sized businesses with job seekers. The company has more than 37 million users in India, making the country its second biggest market.
