Business Development Intern (Corporate & Bulk Gifting) – Remote, Unpaid

Duration: 3 months, part-time (approx. 15–20 hrs/week, flexible)

ABOUT THE ROLE

Most corporate gifts are forgotten within a week: the same mug, the same notebook, the same box that ends up in a drawer. At The Unhurried Life we're building something different: gifts for rest and home that people actually keep and use.

We've just launched our corporate and bulk gifting range, and we need someone to help take it to the companies, HR teams and event planners who'd want it. This is a hands-on internship. You'll work directly with the founder, and your outreach will lead to real orders.

ABOUT US The Unhurried Life is a slow-living home brand from New Delhi. We make 400 thread count cotton bedsheets, candles, foot soaks and home linens, all designed to make everyday routines feel a little calmer. We sell on our own site (theunhurriedlife.in) and now offer custom gifting sets. These can include a client's branding, fit different budgets, and ship to multiple addresses across India.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build a lead list of companies, HR and people teams, startups, agencies and event planners likely to buy festive, employee or client gifts
- Run outreach by cold calling, LinkedIn, email and follow-up. You'll call and write to prospects in a way that sounds human, not scripted
- Book and support discovery calls, gather what each client needs (budget, quantity, branding, delivery addresses) and help put together proposals
- Track every lead in a simple pipeline, so we always know who's warm, who's waiting and who's ready to order
- Find partnership opportunities, such as gifting platforms,



corporate concierge services and co-branding collaborations
- Share what you learn each week: what's working, what buyers ask for and what we should change in the range

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

- Currently studying, or a recent graduate, in business, marketing, commerce or a related field (or able to show equivalent experience)
- Clear, warm written and spoken English. You'll write most of our first messages to clients and make many of our first calls (Hindi is a plus)
- Able to commit 15–20 hours a week for 3 months, working remotely and on your own schedule
- Comfortable cold calling and reaching out to people you don't know, and following up politely

Nice to have

- Previous experience in sales, outreach, college fest sponsorships or event partnerships
- Experience with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, or any CRM or spreadsheet-based pipeline
- An interest in home, lifestyle or D2C brands

WHAT YOU'LL GET

This is an unpaid internship. In return, we'll offer:
- Real business development experience on a live B2B product launch, with results you can list on your CV
- One-to-one mentorship from the founder (ex-EY and KPMG, FMVA certified) on sales, pricing and running a D2C business
- An internship certificate and a letter of recommendation when you complete the internship
- Versatile, fully remote hours that work around your classes
- Products from our range to use and experience yourself

HOW TO APPLY

Apply through LinkedIn with your CV and a few lines on why you'd like to help grow a slow-living brand. It's a nice extra if you name one company you think should be gifting with us, and why.
