Nawgati launches innovative Nawgati Billing App
Mumbai: Nawgati, a home-grown innovative fuel aggregator startup, today announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Nawgati Billing App. The app is Nawgati’s next step towards revolutionising the fueling payment process as it is set to redefine transparency and efficiency at fuel stations across the nation. By incorporating this state-of-the-art app, Nawgati will seamlessly integrate with existing Android POS machines, providing real-time access to crucial information during each fueling transaction at CNG stations anywhere in the country. This integration serves as a proactive measure against theft, pilferage, and other discrepancies, ensuring complete accountability at every stage of the fueling process.
Once connected with the POS machine, the Nawgati Billing App will synergize with the existing Aaveg infrastructure. Through this, users will have access to comprehensive insights such as vehicle number, compliance status, loyalty program details, workforce deployed at station and more, along with the billing details. This integration will not only simplify the payment process but also enhance the overall experience for all the fuel companies that have been onboarded on Aaveg. Currently, the solution is live at a selected CNG stations in Delhi and Mumbai.
Furthermore, the app offers an additional layer of transparency by enabling pump owners to track all station sales through the Aaveg platform. By centralising this data and analytics, Nawgati will empower stakeholders to make informed decisions and optimise operational efficiency.
The Noida-headquartered startup has taken several strides in digitising the fueling industry and has successfully implemented various projects. Nawgati previously collaborated with oil and gas distribution companies and empowered them with Aaveg solutions to minimise manual intervention, and with Nawgati Billing App, this is a step further in the right direction.
Nawgati CEO and co-founder Vaibhav Kaushik shed light on the app’s potential impact, “At Nawgati, we are committed to introducing pioneering solutions that address industry challenges, streamline operations and ensure financial security. With the launch of the Nawgati Billing App, we have taken a significant step towards achieving these goals. We are setting a new standard for transparency and efficiency in fueling transactions. By leveraging our existing setup and advanced technology, we empower fuel station owners to streamline operations, minimise manual errors, and ensure that every transaction is accounted for.”
Kaushik further emphasised the app’s role in automating manual processes while maintaining meticulous oversight: “With the Nawgati Billing App, we are not just automating tasks; we are reimagining the entire fueling experience. By harnessing the power of technology, we mitigate risks, enhance security, and elevate industry standards.”
The Nawgati Billing App serves as a testament to Nawgati’s dedication to continuous innovation in the fuel retail automation sector. This user-friendly app empowers pump owners to manage their stations more effectively, minimise discrepancies, and focus on delivering exceptional customer service.
Nawgati invites fuel station owners and industry stakeholders to embrace this transformative solution and embark on a journey toward a future of transparency, efficiency, and innovation in fuel retailing.

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.
