B2B & Government Sales Lead
Sasyaa · Hyderabad (on-site, with travel across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh) · Full-time
About Sasyaa
India's best plants come from Kadiyam. It's a century-old nursery town in the Godavari delta, with more than 1,000 acres under cultivation, and it's often called the Nursery Capital of Asia. Yet nobody has built a brand around it. Sasyaa is that brand.
We supply premium, traceable plants straight from Kadiyam to the businesses and public bodies that buy at scale. We work with export-certified partner nurseries, so every order comes with consistent grading and a clear origin. Our first year is all about B2B, government and architects. That's where you come in.
The role
You'll be our first sales hire, and you'll own the institutional pipeline end to end. You'll open doors with government departments, corporates, developers and design firms, then turn those conversations into orders and empanelments. You'll work directly with the founder, and closely with our Head of Operations, who makes sure what you sell gets grown, packed and delivered on time.
This is a build role. There's no playbook to inherit. You'll help write it.
What you'll do
- Get Sasyaa empanelled with the bodies that buy plants at scale: GeM, HMDA's Green Hyderabad programme, and the Horticulture and Forest Departments in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
- Track tenders, prepare bids and technical submissions, and follow them through to award.
- Build and close corporate accounts: offices, coworking spaces, IT parks, hotels, hospitals, schools and CSR programmes.
- Win over architects, interior designers and landscape contractors, and make Sasyaa their go-to plant supplier.
- Run discovery meetings, site visits and proposals. Price every deal with a clear eye on margin.
- Keep the CRM clean. Every lead has a stage, a next step and an owner.
- Report pipeline, conversion and revenue each week. Say plainly what's working and what isn't.
- Feed what buyers are asking for back to our nursery partners, so supply keeps up with demand.
What we're looking for
- 5 to 8 years in B2B or institutional sales, with real experience selling to government. A background in horticulture, landscaping, facilities, building materials or interiors is a big plus.
- Hands-on work with tenders, GeM or vendor empanelment. You know how a procurement file moves.
- A working network in Hyderabad among corporates, developers, architects or government departments.
- You're as comfortable in a department office as you are in a design studio.
- Clear, confident English and Telugu. Hindi is a plus.
- You're organised, and you follow up without being chased.
- You're happy to travel across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, including regular trips to Kadiyam.
Why join
- A ground-floor role at a funded startup, with room to grow into Head of B2B & Government Sales as the team expands.
- Direct access to the founder and a real say in how the business gets built.
- A product buyers remember: plants with a known origin, from one of Asia's great nursery towns.
- Market-competitive salary plus performance incentives.
