Adfest 2016: Dentsu’s Yoshiro Yagi is Design & Print Craft Lotus jury president
MUMBAI: Dentsu Inc CD Yoshiro Yagi has been appointed Design Lotus & Print Craft Lotus jury president at Adfest 2016.
“I’m really glad that I can come back to Adfest as the Jury President for Design and Print Craft. I love the different aesthetics that originate in Asia, and I’m very excited about discovering new works created by some of the best designers and art directors in the world,” says Yagi.
Yagi is one of the most internationally awarded art directors in Japan, and perhaps in Asia. After leaving high school temporarily to hone his talents as a rhythmic gymnast, he later discovered his passion for creativity and enrolled at Kyoto University of Art and Design. After graduating, he joined Dentsu in 2001 to start his career as an art director. Since then, he has won over 150 awards including two Grand Prix at Adfest, Best of Design at One Show, and 28 Lions at Cannes.
He has worked for major clients such as East Japan Railway, Panasonic, Honda and Menicon.
“Yoshihiro has an eye for simplicity, but he is also fascinated with mixing and editing different media forms, which is what makes him unique as an art-trained Creative Director. Not only does he understand the principles of good design, but he also knows when to break the rules, which is why he’ll make such an excellent Jury President of Design and Print Craft at Adfest 2016,” adds Adfest president Jimmy Lam.

Indeed expands ChatGPT job search app to India and 50 plus countries
Conversational AI meets hiring as users get personalised roles via chat
NEW DELHI: Indeed has expanded its integration with ChatGPT to India and more than 50 countries, opening up a new, conversational way for users to search and explore job opportunities.
The move brings job discovery directly into chat, allowing users to describe roles in plain language instead of relying on filters. By typing prompts such as “remote marketing jobs” or “data analyst roles in Pune above Rs 8 lakh per annum”, users can instantly receive tailored listings drawn from Indeed’s platform.
To unlock personalised recommendations, users can connect their Indeed profiles, enabling the system to match roles based on their skills, work experience, education and preferences. The integration pulls from a vast dataset of over 645 million job seeker profiles and analyses more than 140 million hiring signals daily to refine results.
While job discovery happens within ChatGPT, applications are still completed on Indeed’s platform, where users can apply, schedule interviews and connect with employers.
Indeed vice president product Sol Garger said, “Career inspiration often strikes in unexpected places. Integrating Indeed’s hiring marketplace with ChatGPT helps job seekers turn those moments into action.”
The feature is available through the ChatGPT Apps directory, where users can connect their Indeed accounts and activate the service by typing “@Indeed” in a chat. The app also provides company insights, including overviews and employee ratings, helping candidates make more informed decisions.
Importantly, Indeed said it does not share sensitive personal data such as contact details or application history with OpenAI. Only basic profile information required for job matching is used.
The collaboration marks a broader shift in how people approach job hunting. Instead of scrolling through listings, users can now refine searches through conversation, adjusting criteria in real time and receiving increasingly relevant results.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape recruitment, the Indeed-ChatGPT tie-up points to a future where job searches are not just faster, but far more intuitive and personalised.
