About Stupeco

Stupeco is building an integrated ecosystem designed to help entrepreneurs start, operate, and grow their businesses.

We combine professional business services, technology, AI-powered tools, and an entrepreneurial ecosystem to help startups and SMEs access the support they need throughout their business journey.

As an early-stage company, we're looking for people who want more than a conventional internship—people who want hands-on exposure to how customers are acquired, partnerships are built, and a startup grows from the ground up.

About the Internship

As a Business Development Intern, you will work closely with the Founder and support Stupeco's customer acquisition and growth activities.

This is a practical role. You won't simply observe sales and business development—you'll participate in it.

You'll learn how to identify potential customers, research businesses, conduct outreach, manage leads, follow up with prospects, support meetings, and contribute towards converting opportunities into customers.

Key ResponsibilitiesLead Generation & Research

- Identify potential customers across target markets.
- Research startups, SMEs, founders, and decision-makers.
- Build and maintain prospect databases.

- Research industries and emerging business opportunities.

Outreach & Prospecting

- Introduce Stupeco and its services to potential customers.
- Assist in executing sales and lead-generation campaigns.
- Develop professional conversations with founders and business decision-makers.

CRM & Lead Management
- Add and maintain leads in the CRM.
- Keep prospect and customer information accurate and updated.
- Record outreach and follow-up activities.
- Track opportunities through different stages of the sales pipeline.




- Help ensure that potential opportunities don't get missed due to delayed follow-ups.

Follow-ups & Meetings
- Follow up with interested prospects.
- Schedule discovery calls and business meetings.
- Coordinate meeting confirmations and reminders.
- Prepare basic prospect information before meetings.
- Maintain meeting notes and next actions where required.

Sales Support
- Assist in understanding prospective client requirements.
- Support preparation of presentations, proposals, quotations, and other sales material.
- Coordinate internally for information required during the sales process.
- Support the Founder and Business Development team throughout the sales cycle.

Market & Competitor Research
- Research competitors, pricing, services, and market trends.
- Identify new industries and customer segments.
- Share relevant market insights and business opportunities with the team.

Who Should Apply? We're looking for students, fresh graduates, or early-career professionals who:

- Are interested in Sales, Business Development, Startups, Entrepreneurship, or Consulting.
- Have positive written and verbal communication skills.
- Are comfortable communicating with new people.
- Are confident using LinkedIn and online research tools.
- Have basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel/Google Sheets.
- Are organized and comfortable maintaining data.
- Are proactive rather than waiting to be told every small task.
- Are willing to learn and accept feedback.
- Can work independently in a startup environment.

Students or graduates from BBA, B.Com, MBA/PGDM, Marketing, Sales, Entrepreneurship, Commerce, or related disciplines are preferred, but the right attitude matters more than the degree.
