Apna.co's AI Job Prep tool offers realistic interview simulations and personalized feedback to boost candidates' confidence nationwide.
Apna.co, a jobs platform, has launched AI Job Prep — a new AI-powered interview preparation tool designed to address the preparation gap in the country’s job market.
“Over 7.6 lakh AI interviews have been completed on Apna’s platform, across over 900 cities and towns, logging more than 39 lakh minutes of interviews — signalling a growing demand for smarter, tech-enabled ways of interview preparation,” the firm said.
“The tool offers realistic interview simulations, instant performance feedback, and personalized improvement tips to help candidates build interview confidence,” it said.
Early data from Apna.co’s AI Job Prep tool reveals adoption across roles, regions, and demographics.
“Adoption was highest in metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai — accounting for 44% of total interviews,” the firm said.
“Also non-metros such as Jaipur, Lucknow, and Patna showed strong and growing momentum, reflecting rising digital fluency beyond urban centers,” it added.
Nirmit Parikh, Founder & CEO, Apna.co, said, “AI Job Prep is our answer to the confidence gap that quietly stalls millions of careers. We have turned a nerve-racking interview into a safe, intelligent rehearsal—one that knows the company you are aiming for, knows your profile, speaks your language, and improves with every exchange.”
