Hi

I would like to know that if we create multiple mailchimp api keys and
use it to integrate with our application.How can it help to reduce the
load and also any advantages other than the integration of specific
lists with the respective api when we try to send mail campaign.

Using multiple API keys for a single account won't make a difference -
here's info on connection limits and throttling:

That last sentence is kind of vague, so I'm not sure what to tell you.
If you have some specific questions or concerns I should be able to
address those.

I need to send mails to some of my partners with thousands of
mailid's.Currently im using just one mailchimp account to send mails
but in case of exceeding bounce mail limit , it affects other
partners .So i was looking for a solution like creating multiple
mailchimp account for each partner or shall i create multiple api keys
in same account in order to avoid this problem.

As I mentioned, using multiple API keys for a single account won't
make a difference. In that situation you will want to create separate
accounts to prevent a single user from getting the entire account shut
down and affecting everyone else. You may also want to consider using
OAuth2 to get the API Key for a more fluid user experience.
