Hi,

There is an interesting and innovative site build using Drupal.

As the number of users are increasing, I am concerned, if this will affect the sites performance.

If yes, is there any way to handle it ?

Tushar - The site performance really depends on the infrastructure you have. You can scale your site's infrastructure to handle the load with the increased user base. By infrastructure I mean the hardware, webservers and app servers etc. 2bits site has lots of info and tips on performance improvement. http://2bits.com/articles/drupal-performance-tuning-and-optimization-for...

You can do minor tweaks initially using caching, tuning queries, compressing files like javascript etc. There are also some good books like Website optimisation http://www.websiteoptimization.com/ , http://stevesouders.com/hpws/ High Performance Websites, Building Scalable Websites http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596102357/
