Business Development Head — Titanium Trading
AKD Advanced Materials | AKD Group | Jaipur, Rajasthan (Full-time)
CTC- 10-25 Lakhs

ABOUT US
AKD Advanced Materials is a new venture of AKD Group, a Jaipur-based industrial conglomerate expanding from real estate into energy and advanced materials. Titanium trading is our founding product line — a ground-floor opportunity to build a strategic materials business from its first supplier and customer relationship onward.

THE ROLE
We're looking for our first Business Development Head to own revenue, supplier relationships, and market entry end-to-end. You'll personally lead our founding supplier and customer conversations, to turn a standing start into a functioning, revenue-generating trading company within 12 months.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Source and negotiate supply agreements with domestic titanium stockists and international producers (China, Japan, Kazakhstan)
• Build our customer pipeline from zero — medical device, industrial, and chemical processing companies first, moving toward private aerospace/defense customers (Tata Advanced Systems,



Bharat Forge, and similar) as we mature
• Own the long-horizon relationship-building for eventual HAL, DRDO, and ISRO vendor registration
• Set go-to-market strategy across our product line (sponge, ingot, bar, sheet, tube, powder)
• Report directly to AKD Group leadership and help build the BD team as we scale

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Minimum 8 years of experience, including 5–7 years in metals trading, industrial materials distribution, or related B2B sales
• A track record of building supplier or customer relationships from scratch — prior experience launching a new business line or venture is highly valued
• Titanium, speciality metals, or aerospace/defense-adjacent trading experience is a robust plus, not mandatory
• Familiarity with India's import-export environment (DGFT, customs, HS codes) is a plus
• Comfort with long sales cycles and real ambiguity — some of our most importa
