Anupam Mittal, Founder of Shaadi.com, recently expressed concerns about the lack of preparation for students entering the job market in India. He pointed out that despite over 1 crore students graduating every year, most are not equipped with the skills needed to secure a job.
Mittal shared his personal experience of interview preparation while studying in the US, where students received comprehensive training like mock drills and CV clinics. He noted that while these sessions weren’t groundbreaking, they helped graduates understand how to perform well in interviews.
In India, however, Mittal observed that even brilliant candidates often struggle with basic interview questions. Many have strong resumes, but without the right guidance, they freeze during the interview.
Mittal praised Apna, a platform using AI to address this gap by offering focused, AI-driven solutions for job seekers. He expressed excitement about how the app is helping individuals prepare for interviews and tackle vertical challenges specific to their career paths.
Mittal’s comments reflect the increasing need for interview preparation tools and resources to help students bridge the skills gap and succeed in their career journey.
