About Antropi Robotics
Antropi Robotics is building the Factory of the Future. Based in Bengaluru, we are redefining manufacturing by integrating intelligent, vision-driven robotic arms and AI-powered scheduling software into production environments. Our modular, AI-first platform enables 24/7 continuous operation and significantly higher machine utilization for CNC factories.
You will be joining a talent-dense robotics team consisting of individuals from top institutions in India and abroad, including IITs and Ivy League universities, as well as high-caliber operators and engineers who have built in deep-tech, robotics, manufacturing, and startup environments.
About the Role
We are looking for a smart, active, and responsible Business Development Executive to help Antropi find and work with manufacturing companies.
Antropi runs a technology-based microfactory in Bengaluru. We use CNC machines, robots, and software to produce precision metal parts. Your job will be to find companies that may want to buy parts from us, give us regular manufacturing work, or use our software and automation solutions in their factories.
This is a full-time, in-person role. The work will include finding potential customers, calling them, visiting factories, meeting the right people, understanding their basic requirements, and setting up further discussions with the founders.
We are looking for someone who can work without waiting for a ready-made lead list or a fixed sales script. The person should be comfortable speaking with factory owners and manufacturing teams, following up regularly, and building good business relationships.
Key Responsibilities
- Find Customers for Metal Parts: Identify companies that need CNC-machined metal parts and may be interested in buying parts from Antropi.
- Find Manufacturing Opportunities: Look for companies that want to outsource regular production work to a reliable manufacturing partner.
- Find Software and Automation Leads: Identify larger factories that may be interested in Antropis manufacturing software, robotics, or automation solutions.
- Lead Generation: Find suitable factories and manufacturing companies using Google Maps, IndiaMART, industrial directories, exhibitions, trade associations, local networks, and other sources.
- Contact the Right People: Find and connect with factory owners, purchase teams, production heads, plant heads, and other decision-makers.
- Calling and Outreach: Call potential customers, explain what Antropi does, understand their basic requirements, and check whether there is a possible business opportunity.
- Factory Visits: Visit factories and industrial areas to meet potential customers, learn about their requirements, and build business relationships.
- Coordinate with Founders: Share qualified opportunities with the founders and help arrange meetings, factory visits, samples, quotations, and further discussions.
- Follow-ups: Follow up regularly with potential customers and help move discussions towards trial orders, manufacturing work, pilots, or commercial projects.
- Maintain Sales Records: Keep proper records of leads, calls, meetings, customer requirements, follow-ups, and the current status of each prospect.
Required Skills & Traits
- Resourcefulness: Ability to find information even when it is scattered, incomplete, or not available through standard sources.
- Street-Smart Sales Mindset: Comfortable visiting industrial areas, speaking to factory teams,
finding the right person, and figuring out practical ways to reach decision-makers.
- Strong Communication: Confident in Hindi and English, with the ability to explain technical ideas in a simple and practical manner. Kannada is a plus.
- High Ownership: Takes responsibility for results, follows up consistently, and does not need constant reminders.
- Curiosity and Persistence: Willing to learn about different industries, try multiple ways to reach customers, and continue working despite rejection.
- Structured Execution: Able to maintain trackers, organize leads, prioritize prospects, and give clear updates to the founders.
Preferred Background
Experience in B2B sales, field sales, business development, technical sales, industrial sales, or customer acquisition is preferred.
Experience in manufacturing, CNC machining, machine tools, industrial equipment, automation, robotics, engineering products, or manufacturing software will be a strong advantage.
Prior experience working with factory owners, purchase teams, production heads, or manufacturing companies is preferred, but not mandatory for someone who is highly driven and quick to learn.
Role Details
Location: Bengaluru, on-site and field-based
Role Type: Full-time
Function: Sales and Business Development
Language Requirements: Hindi and English required, Kannada preferred
Reporting To: Founders
Why Join Antropi
This is not a typical sales role where you are given a fixed script and a ready-made list of customers. You will help build the early customer base of a deep-tech robotics and manufacturing company.
You will work directly with the founders, interact with factory owners, understand the manufacturing industry from the ground up, and play an important role in bringing robotics, software, and modern manufacturing solutions into real factories.
