About the Role

We are building Vipan Bansal’s personal brand and business podcast platform, focused on entrepreneurship, business, manufacturing, money, founders, and the real stories behind building companies.

We are looking for an ambitious Business Development Manager (BDM) who can help us build two things:

1. A strong network of founders and business leaders2. A strong pipeline of brands, partnerships and revenue

This is not a traditional sales or coordination role. You will be responsible for finding opportunities, starting conversations, building relationships and closing deals.

Key Responsibilities

?️ Podcast Guest Acquisition

Identify and build a pipeline of high-quality founders, CEOs, investors, industrialists and business leaders. Research potential guests and identify the right people to approach. Reach out through LinkedIn, email, Instagram, WhatsApp and other channels. Pitch podcast appearances and secure guest meetings. Build relationships with founders, CXOs, PR teams and management teams. Follow up consistently until the opportunity is closed.* Maintain and manage the complete guest pipeline.

The goal is not simply to get famous guests — it is to bring people with strong businesses, stories and insights to the platform.

? Brand Outreach & Partnerships

Identify brands that align with Vipan Bansal’s personal brand, podcast and audience. Build a database of potential sponsors and commercial partners. Find and connect with marketing heads, brand managers,



founders and decision-makers. Conduct cold outreach through email, LinkedIn, calls and other channels. Pitch sponsorships, podcast integrations, content collaborations and long-term partnerships. Prepare commercial proposals and partnership decks. Take conversations from first contact → meeting → proposal → negotiation → closure. Negotiate commercials and close brand deals. Build long-term relationships with brands and drive repeat business. Identify opportunities for monthly/quarterly brand partnerships.

? Revenue Responsibility

You will play a direct role in generating revenue for the personal brand and podcast.

Your responsibility will include

Prospecting → Outreach → Meetings → Pitching → Negotiation → Closing → Renewal

You will be expected to actively contribute to monthly revenue targets.

Performance will be measured not by the number of emails sent, but by quality opportunities created and deals closed.

What We Are Looking For

1–4 years of experience in business development, sales, partnerships, influencer marketing, media sales, podcasting or a similar role. Strong communication and negotiation skills. Comfortable speaking with founders, CEOs, CMOs and senior decision-makers. Strong cold outreach and follow-up skills.



Ability to create personalised pitches rather than mass messages. Commercial mindset and strong closing ability. Excellent networking and relationship-building skills. Strong research and prospecting ability. Self-driven and comfortable working with targets. Ability to work independently in a fast-moving workplace.

You Will Be a Great Fit If

You are someone who doesn’t wait for opportunities.

You create them.

You can find a founder we’ve never met and get them interested in the podcast.

You can identify a brand we’ve never worked with and turn the first email into a meeting.

And you can take that meeting all the way to a signed partnership.

Key Performance Metrics

Your performance will be evaluated on:

Quality podcast guests secured Guest pipeline and response rate* Brand prospects generated* Qualified brand meetings* Sponsorship proposals* Brand partnerships closed* Revenue generated* Repeat/renewal partnerships* Quality of founder and brand relationships

Compensation

₹25,000–₹40,000/month + performance incentives

Compensation can be higher for candidates with proven experience in closing brand partnerships or media/sponsorship deals.

Growth Opportunity

As the platform grows, this role can evolve into:

BDM → Senior Business Development → Head of Partnerships / Business Development

You will have the opportunity to work directly with Vipan Bansal and be part of building a business-media platform from an early stage.Requirements added by the job poster
