Company: KabiraTex

Craft inspired. Textile curious. Design obsessed.

KabiraTex is looking for a curious and commercially minded person who understand or genuinely wants to explore the world of artisan made textiles, Indian crafts, handlooms, weaves, prints and surface techniques.

This is not a conventional sales role.

We are looking for someone who enjoys researching interesting brands, designers, hotels, restaurants and spaces, discovering the people behind them, and figuring out where artisan made and sustainable textiles could create value.

Our initial focus is the B2B home furnishing, interior design and hospitality market, particularly in Bengaluru.

What You'll Do

- Research potential B2B customers in interiors, hospitality and home furnishing
- Discover interesting architects, interior studios, boutique hotels, resorts, restaurants, furniture brands and design-led businesses
- Identify relevant founders, designers, buyers, sourcing teams and decision makers
- Understand a prospect's design language and explore where KabiraTex's artisan textiles could fit
- Build and maintain a structured database of potential customers and opportunities
- Reach out through email, LinkedIn, phone and other appropriate channels
- Introduce relevant textiles, craft techniques, samples and possibilities rather than sending generic sales pitches
- Follow up with interested prospects and help develop them into meaningful B2B relationships
- Share market insights with the KabiraTex team what designers are looking for, emerging applications, materials,



trends and opportunities

You Could Be a Great Fit If You...
- Are genuinely interested in artisan textiles, handloom, weaving, block printing, embroidery, natural materials or Indian craft
- Enjoy discovering new brands, designers, hotels, cafes and interesting spaces
- Have a good visual/design sensibility
- Are naturally valuable at internet research and finding the right people
- Can communicate confidently and thoughtfully with designers, founders and businesses
- Are comfortable with cold research and reaching out to people you haven't met before
- Are organised enough to systematically track prospects and follow-ups
- Are curious about sustainability, responsible design and artisan livelihoods

Background We're Open To You could come from Textile Design, Textile Technology, Fashion, Home Furnishing, Interior Design, Merchandising, Sourcing, Lifestyle Products, Hospitality, Business Development or a related field.

Candidates from design/textile institutes with solid research and communication skills are welcome.

Prior B2B sales experience is useful, but deep curiosity, initiative and an understanding of textiles/design are equally important.

What This Role Is NOT regular telemarketing/sales

We want someone who can ask:

Who would genuinely value this textile?

Where could it be used?

Who should we speak to?

And how do we start that conversation?

If that sounds like the way you think, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a short note telling us about an artisan textile, craft tradition, design brand or space that you find interesting and why.

Pay: ₹30,000.00 - ₹40,000.00 per month

Benefits

- Cell phone reimbursement
