LinkedIn, which is a social networking site aimed at professionals, has reported that it had more than 100 million users in India. The manufacturing, corporate services (including consulting, accounting, and HR), financial services, and education sectors make up the next highest percentage of members in India, followed by those from the software and information technology industries.

This is a global trend. In order for them to grow in their professions, it assists them in locating the appropriate opportunities, establishing connections with peers and mentors, and acquiring new skills “remarked the business.
In addition to this, LinkedIn has also released a research titled Workplace Learning that reveals the objectives of L&D executives in India as well as a list of the top 10 most in-demand talents that are needed by enterprises.
