One of Bengaluru's most-read compact dailies — in one minute.
Bangalore Mirror is the compact daily advertisers in Bengaluru ask for by name. Published in a compact format by the Times Group, it reaches a young, urban, high-disposable-income audience of tech professionals, startups, corporate executives, and educational hubs. It provides dedicated supplements, city-wide coverage, and highly engaged reader intent. Reaching this audience is not just about placing a general ad; it is about target audience purpose, where readers browse specific columns that remain active all week.
Category sub-sections present your ad to the exact target audience you desire, without the clutter of an unfocused online portal. That's why in Bengaluru the compact daily isn't optional — it's the medium that the response actually comes from.
Booking it, though, was never simple — the published rate card is made up of pages of rules and premiums. That's the problem Riyo Advertising has solved since 2003: one call to 9821984000 gets the exact rate, 15–35% below counter, free drafting, a proof before print, and the tearsheet after publication.
Bangalore Mirror runs two distinct job sections plus main paper slots. Booking the right section matters as much as the right day. Not sure which fits? Call 9821984000.

Bangalore Mirror targets the young professionals, IT industry, startups, corporate executives, educational institutes, healthcare organizations and SMEs in Bengaluru. Reaching the right candidates is all about getting the execution right.
→ Job title: First two words, not buried in paragraph three.
→ Company name: Unless it's a confidential search.
→ Qualifications: Key credentials and years of experience.
→ Location: City, hybrid, or remote. Be specific.
→ Salary range: This matters more than anything else.
→ How to apply: Email, portal link, or phone.
✕ Wrong day: Wednesday and Sunday pull stronger recruitment readership; weekday editions suit urgent local hiring only.
✕ No salary range: An ad without salary loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.
✕ Wrong section: Recruitment ads belong in the dedicated recruitment category, not the general classified pages.
✕ Vague job title: "Software Developer — Bengaluru — ₹8–12L" gets read. "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.
✕ Text-only for senior roles: A classified display ad with your company logo outperforms plain text for corporate hiring.
✕ Only ran once: 2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate far more cumulative response than a single run.
Bangalore Mirror's editorial team reviews advertisements before publication. To prevent copy rejection:
✕ Avoid age limits ("Below 30 only"). Use "2–5 years experience".
✕ Avoid gender exclusions ("Male only" or titles like "Salesman").
✕ Avoid appearance requirements ("fair complexion", "good-looking").
✕ Avoid regional exclusions ("Locals only").
✕ Avoid misleading titles (dressing up cold-call sales as "executive").
Sunday is the only day that matters. Reaches urban, family-oriented readers.
