Jean and tonic Pepe’s Connaught Place comeback is stitched with style
MUMBAI: Some comebacks are worth the wait and the wear. Pepe Jeans London has officially rebuttoned its iconic Connaught Place presence with a 2,400 sq. ft. flagship store that redefines denim cool with a dash of British flair.
The reopened space isn’t just bigger, it’s bolder. With over 200 denim styles and more than 500 fashion pieces spanning tees, jackets, and more, the brand’s signature London attitude is stitched into every corner. Whether you’re a skinny-fit loyalist or a relaxed-fit rebel, there’s a pair of jeans with your name on it (and probably a jacket to match).
The denim wall stands tall as the centrepiece, a love letter to the brand’s heritage flanked by collections for men, women, and kids, and a newly added footwear section that takes your look from head to toe without missing a beat. Think classic kicks, statement sneakers, and everything in between.
But why Connaught Place again? Because style, like certain locations, never really fades. With its colonial charm, cultural buzz and legendary footfall, CP mirrors the brand’s blend of timelessness and trend. “Reopening here wasn’t a business call,” the brand hinted. “It was instinct.”
So whether you’re rediscovering your denim roots or hunting for fashion-forward flair, Pepe’s new home at Connaught Place promises a little London in every look no visa required.

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.
