MUMBAI: Online job portal TimesJobs has revamped its website with a new homepage that offers easy navigation, informed selections and ease of access.
TimesJobs.com VP Amit Jain said, “A host of features give job-seekers a clutter free home page experience with intuitive navigation and faster downloads. We hope these improvements encourage job-seekers to fine tune their resumes, enhance their job-search and apply to corporates that are in high demand.”
Many modifications and tweaks throughout the website have led to a 50 per cent improvement in the downloading speed of the site. There are enhanced headers, new floating navigation bar, the user login form and the profile snippet box.
The Enhanced Tabbed Header offers viewing second level navigation by simple mouse over- informing users of further selections. This feature is applicable across site and makes TimesJobs navigation clean and lets users get a preview of what to expect on the next page.
The new ‘Floating Nav Bar‘ is the one that flashes on the bottom of the screen across site. It comprises critical navigation options that offer ease of job search to both logged-in and unregistered users.
There is a new ‘User Log-in Form‘ which is a prominent box on the top right hand side of the homepage that lets users login to their TimesJobs‘ account right away.
With the help of the new ‘Profile Snippet Box‘, Logged-in users can view their profile information on the home page itself – essentially a condensed personalised summary. This box also facilitates them to update their profile details and view customised recommendations without having to visit multiple pages.
“Our research showed that the above data fields are critical to a jobseeker‘s success in finding a matching job, and having them put succinctly in a single box makes it very easy to access,” Jain added.

With 57 per cent single new users, Ashley Madison rebrands as discreet dating platform
Platform says majority of new members now identify as single
INDIA: Ashley Madison is shedding the “married-dating” label that defined it for two decades, repositioning itself as a platform for discreet dating in what it calls the post-social media age.
The rebrand, unveiled in India on 27 February, 2026, marks a structural shift in business model and identity. Once synonymous with married dating, the company now describes itself as the “premier destination for discreet dating” under a new tagline: Where Desire Meets Discretion.
The pivot is data-driven. Internal figures show that 57 per cent of global sign-ups between 1 January and 31 December, 2025 identified as single: a notable departure from the platform’s married core. The company argues that its community has already evolved beyond its original positioning.
“In an age where our lives have been constantly put on public display, privacy has become the new luxury,” said Ashley Madison chief strategy officer Paul Keable. He framed the platform’s offering as “ethical discretion” for singles, separated, divorced and non-monogamous users seeking private connections.
The shift also taps into wider digital fatigue. A global survey conducted by YouGov for Ashley Madison, covering 13,071 adults across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US, found mounting discomfort with hyper-public online lives.
Among dating app users, 30 per cent cited constant swiping and messaging as a source of fatigue, while 24 per cent pointed to pressure to curate public-facing profiles and early personal disclosure. Some 27 per cent said fears of screenshots or information being shared contributed to exhaustion; an equal share cited unwanted attention.
The retreat from oversharing appears broader. According to the survey, 46 per cent of adults actively try to keep most aspects of their life private online. Only 8 per cent feel comfortable sharing most aspects publicly, while 35 per cent say they are becoming more selective about what they disclose.
Ashley Madison is betting that this cultural recalibration towards controlled visibility can be monetised. By doubling down on privacy infrastructure and reframing itself around discretion rather than infidelity, the company is attempting to convert reputational baggage into a premium proposition.
