Business Development Executive — India Market

Location: Ahmedabad

Work Mode: In office About Us

3rd Planet is a creative studio specializing in AI-led film, animation, and design, working with clients including Truecaller, Paytm, Acer EV, and FireAI. Truecaller engages us as an embedded creative partner across their full digital and brand requirements.

Role Overview

We're hiring a Business Development Executive to build 3rd Planet's outbound pipeline in the India market. You'll identify national and international brands, open conversations through LinkedIn and calls, pitch our work, and convert them into intro calls or pitch opportunities for the founders. Quality of relationship opened matters more than volume of outreach sent.

Key Responsibilities

Identify and research target brands — national and international — operating in India, building a qualified prospect list (not a mass list)

Reach out via LinkedIn (connect, message, follow-up sequences) and direct calls to decision-makers (marketing heads, founders, brand leads)

Personalize every pitch to the brand's business and category — no templated outreach

Pitch 3rd Planet's work and brand proof points (Truecaller, Paytm, JSW Paints,



Amazon, Acer EV) to secure an intro call or pitch opportunity

Handle objections and pushback confidently on calls — get to a clear yes/no, not a stall

Track outreach, calls, and pipeline stages in ClickUp with full discipline

Stay alert to market movement — brand launches, expansions, leadership changes — to time outreach right

Hand off warm leads to Disha for the next stage

Candidate Requirements

1–3 years in business development, sales, or client outreach — IT/creative/agency/media background preferred

Strong LinkedIn outreach skills, including Sales Navigator or equivalent

Confident, persuasive on cold calls — can pitch and handle objections without a script

Research discipline — understands a brand's business before reaching out

Strong written and spoken English

Based in Ahmedabad

Hungry, persistent, comfortable with rejection

What We're Not Looking For

People who wait for warm leads. Anyone uncomfortable picking up the phone. Those who give up after one "not interested."

Compensation: Competitive
