About Growza
Growza is a growth operating system for local businesses — gyms, salons, cafés, clinics, restaurants and neighbourhood brands.
It replaces the paper notebook, the scattered WhatsApp messages and the half-dozen disconnected tools with one platform that helps a business manage its customers, attract new ones, and bring existing ones back through automated reminders and loyalty programs. Growza also helps owners build trust through reviews and referrals, and gives them a clear view of their customer base and where their growth is actually coming from.
We solve the real operational problem first, then layer AI agents on top to automate more of the work. If you join us, you are working on something that directly decides whether a local business owner has a good month or a bad one.

About the Role
This is a fully remote Business Development role, built for students graduating in 2027 or 2028. Work from anywhere in India.
You will build your pipeline over calls, WhatsApp and video demos — and where it helps, walk into a café or gym in your own city and show the owner the hundreds of customer numbers sitting dead in his register, and what happens when he actually reaches out to them.
Your city is your territory. Every town in India has gyms, salons, cafés and clinics, and almost none of them have a system.
What You'll Do
- Identify and qualify local businesses — restaurants, cafés, gyms, salons, spas, clinics and retail stores
- Run lead generation through cold calls, WhatsApp outreach, social media and referrals
- Have real conversations with business owners, understand their problem, and convert them into qualified leads
- Deliver product demonstrations over video, and in person in your own city where it helps close
- Build and manage your own sales pipeline end to end — first contact, demo, follow-up, onboarding
- Conduct market research on customer needs, local competition and pricing
- Document every activity in our internal CRM so the pipeline stays transparent
- Bring feedback from the market straight back to the product team — what you hear from owners changes what we build
What We're Looking For
- Graduating in 2027 or 2028 — any stream, any college, anywhere in India. CGPA is irrelevant to us.
- Strong communication skills in English and Hindi. You can explain something complex simply, and build rapport with a 45-year-old gym owner as easily as with a peer.
- Confident on the phone. A large part of this role is calling strangers who did not expect your call.
- Presentation skills — you can build and deliver a clean, structured pitch
- Comfortable with digital tools, CRM systems and basic website and content management
- A working laptop, a smartphone and secure internet
- Genuine willingness to work inside an early-stage startup: fast, unstructured, no fixed
- Self-driven. Remote means nobody will micromanage you — and nobody will chase you either. That is the whole test.
Nice to Have (not required)
- Any prior sales, marketing,
campus ambassador or event sponsorship experience
- Familiarity with WhatsApp Business, CRMs or social media marketing
- An existing network among local business owners in your city
No professional experience is needed. We train you completely on the product, the pitch and the full sales process during onboarding.
The Terms — stated upfront, no surprises
- First 3 months: unpaid internship, with a Certificate of Experience on completion
- Performance incentive on every business you bring on board, from day one
- After 3 months: strong performers convert to a paid role. The exact numbers for that conversion are written down and shared with you before you start.
- Fully remote. Work from your own city, no relocation.
- Hours are flexible around your college schedule — roughly 20-25 hours a week. Your classes come first.
- Daily async check-in and one team call a week. Beyond that, you own your time.
What You Walk Away With
Real B2B SaaS sales experience — lead generation, cold outreach, discovery conversations, live product demos, objection handling, pipeline and CRM discipline, market research. Direct mentorship from the founding team.
The exact skills companies hire for, and the ones no college teaches.

How to Apply
Use Easy Apply. In the message field, answer this in 3-4 lines:
"Name 3 local businesses in your city that you know. For each, what do you think their biggest customer problem is?"
Applications without an answer to that question will not be reviewed.
