Business Development Intern

KaroStartup · HSR Layout, Bengaluru [Duration: 3/6 months]

About KaroStartup

KaroStartup began in 2020 as a college Instagram page. Today it's a startup media platform with a 1M+ community and 100M+ cumulative views, built on telling real Indian business stories with real numbers.
We publish across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and podcasts, and we work with founders and brands to build their storytelling — podcasts, founder features, content partnerships, and full content-as-a-service retainers.

What this role actually is

We have a large pipeline of founder leads sitting with us. Your job is to reach them, talk to them, understand what they're building, and figure out what KaroStartup can genuinely do for them — a podcast episode, a founder story, a content partnership, or a longer engagement.

This is not cold-calling from a script. You'll be having real conversations with founders about their business, and then designing what a valuable collaboration looks like.

If you like talking to people and you're curious about how businesses work,



this is the role.

What you'll do

Work the internal lead list. Research each founder and company before you reach out — what they do, how they make money, what stage they're at, what they'd want out of storytelling.
Run outreach on LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp. Personalised, researched messages. Nothing copy-pasted.
Get on calls with founders. Understand their business, their goals, and where they're stuck on visibility.
Build the plan. After the call, put together a clear proposal — what we'd make for them, in which format, on which platform, and why that's the right fit.
Book podcast guests and coordinate with the content team on scheduling, briefs and follow-ups.
Live on LinkedIn. A big part of this job is being active there — finding founders, tracking funding announcements, spotting who just raised or launched and reaching out at the right moment.
Maintain the pipeline. Every lead, conversation a
