Ltd. is a full-service film and content production house headquartered in Pune, with a high-capacity execution network spanning the UK, US, Canada, UAE, South Africa, and Turkey. Founded on the belief that every frame should carry cinematic intent, we have built a reputation for treating corporate and brand work with the craft usually reserved for feature film.
Our business operates across three verticals:
Corporate, brand, and industrial films for Indian enterprise clients — including established relationships with names such as Chicago Pneumatic and Atlas Copco.
Remote, AI-powered video and post-production for international partners — combining neural rendering and AI-presenter workflows with a human cinematic touch.
International feature film co-production — a growing theatrical slate positioning Photopandits on the global stage.
We compete on cinematic quality, strategic thinking, and the credibility of a firm that executes across continents. The Business Development Manager owns Photopandits' revenue pipeline. You will identify the right accounts, open doors at the CXO and marketing-head level, translate client ambition into well-scoped projects, and convert conversations into signed, high-value production contracts.
You will be the commercial face of a premium brand. Every meeting, proposal, and negotiation must reflect the same standard of polish that defines our films. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with the Founder and the creative team, so judgment, articulacy, and the ability to hold a boardroom matter as much as raw closing ability.





Design and execute a proactive lead-generation strategy from day one — multi-channel outbound across cold outreach, LinkedIn prospecting, email campaigns, warm referrals, and BNI / industry-network leverage. Identify, research, and prioritise high-value target accounts across corporate, industrial, real estate, and brand-film segments — domestic (Pune/Maharashtra-led, pan-India capable) and international.
Lead discovery calls and in-person meetings to understand each client's business objective — brand, lead-gen, investor relations, or internal training.
Brief the creative and production teams accurately so proposals land on strategy, not guesswork, and so scoping reflects real client intent.
Position Photopandits' technical edge (4K/6K capture, drone, VFX, 2D/3D animation, AI-avatar workflows) fluently enough to build client confidence without needing the creative team in every conversation.
Own the proposal-to-contract cycle end to end — coordinating scoping, premium pricing positioning, and the 50-25-25 client payment structure.
Negotiate commercial terms directly with clients, protecting margin and defending value rather than discounting to win.
Client Retention & Account Growth
Nurture existing relationships to drive repeat business, upsell across verticals, and generate referrals — retention is weighted as heavily as new logos.
Serve as the client's commercial point of contact through the project lifecycle, ensuring satisfaction translates into the next engagement.
Market Intelligence & Reporting
Represent Photopandits at industry events, BNI chapters, and client meetings with the polish expected of a premium production house.
Performance in this role is measured on outcomes, not activity.



Measurable repeat-business and referral revenue from existing accounts.
Sales Discipline: Accurate, up-to-date pipeline records and reliable weekly forecasting.
5. 30-60-90 DAY RAMP PLAN
Build the ICP and target-account map, start outbound, profile priority prospects, and book first meetings — while immersing in our portfolio, verticals, and pricing in parallel.
First independently-closed contract and a self-sustaining pipeline.

Minimum 5 years in a direct, quota-carrying business development, B2B sales, or client-servicing role — agency, production house, media, or skilled-services background strongly preferred.
Fluent, confident spoken and written English; Based in, or willing to relocate to, Pune. Regular travel across Maharashtra and pan-India is mandatory; occasional international travel may be required.
Experience selling intangible, high-consideration services (film production, advertising, consulting, events) rather than commodity products — the sales cycle and trust-building are fundamentally different.
An existing personal or professional network in Pune's corporate, industrial, or BNI ecosystem — this shortens ramp-up dramatically.
Enough technical fluency to discuss production concepts credibly without a creative crutch in every call.
Consultative Selling :Our sale is advisory. Clients buy a partner who understands their business, not a vendor quoting a rate card.
Commercial Judgement :Executive Presence :You represent a premium brand in rooms with senior decision-makers. Polish is a job requirement, not a bonus.
Resilience & Drive: High-value sales cycles are long and rejection-heavy. Cross-Team Fluency: You are the bridge between client and creative. COMPENSATION & GROWTH
Compensation is structured as a competitive fixed base plus a performance-linked incentive on closed revenue, benchmarked to Pune's media and agency market and calibrated to the candidate's proven track record. As Photopandits scales its domestic and international verticals, the successful candidate is positioned to grow into a senior business-growth leadership mandate — owning a team and a larger revenue charter.
