The main focus of the company is to launch Lite version in emerging markets across Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa. With the introduction of this version, Twitter is hoping to increase its number of users in countries like India, Brazil and Philippines.

It seems like Twitter is now quite serious to increase its users. As recently, Twitter has  revealed some attractive ways to provide more ease to its character limit. Now Twitter has Stopped Counting Username in 140-Character Limit. Earlier, when users have to reply to a group or individual, twitter counted username characters in 140-character limit. Twitter does not officially raise the character limit, but stops counting username in character limit.
