As featured in Mid-Day
Arya Featured in Mid-Day covers a roundup of six AI job search tools for Indian professionals in 2026, comparing Arya by Mentoria against Naukri, LinkedIn Premium Career, Jobright, Sonara, and LazyApply on what each tool does, what it costs, and where it falls short.
Arya Featured in Mid-Day: What the Comparison Covers
The piece opens with Arya, describing a system of seven interconnected AI agents working daily across Naukri, LinkedIn, Foundit, IIMJobs, Indeed, and Google Jobs. It highlights the fifteen best-matched roles pulled daily and CVs tailored per role. Mid-Day calls out one differentiator none of the other five tools attempt: finding the actual recruiter's or HR head's email address and applying directly, bypassing the portal, with automatic follow-up until a response comes in. The article cites Arya's reported figures directly: more than 27,500 job seekers, over 84,000 applications processed monthly, a 60% average reduction in job search time, and up to eight times more interview calls for some users.
How the Other Five Tools Compare
Mid-Day positions Naukri as unmatched on raw listing volume but entirely manual beyond visibility, and it places LinkedIn Premium Career in a similar bracket, built around visibility rather than action. Jobright is flagged as US-market-first, with no coverage of Naukri, IIMJobs, or Foundit. Sonara and LazyApply are both framed as high-volume auto-apply tools with limited or no Indian portal coverage, and LazyApply's outreach is noted as emailing general employees rather than the specific recruiter handling a role.
The Verdict
Mid-Day's bottom line is that most tools on the list automate a single part of the job hunt: matching, tailoring, or submitting. Arya is the only one that closes the full loop from discovery to recruiter outreach to follow-up without a manual step in between, which is why Mid-Day picks it for candidates whose search is entirely within Indian companies.
