We're building a new venture at the intersection of sports, technology, and education. We're looking for an ambitious business development professional to help bring our programmes to schools across India.

The opportunity

You'll own school partnerships in Bhopal, working directly with principals, administrators, and institutional decision-makers. You'll be responsible for opening doors, building relationships, and turning conversations into real partnerships. This is a field-first, execution-heavy role. You'll spend more time meeting people than sitting behind a desk.

What you'll do

- Identify, approach, and build relationships with schools across the city.
- Get meetings with decision-makers and pitch our programmes.
- Own the entire partnership lifecycle, from first conversation to successful onboarding.
- Coordinate with our operations team to ensure smooth programme delivery.
- Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of school partnerships.
- Develop repeatable approaches that help us expand into new markets.




- Bring insights from the field directly to the founding team.

Who we're looking for

You might have worked in business development, institutional sales, education, or partnerships. Or you might be exceptionally good at getting things done and convincing people to give new ideas a chance. Either way, we care more about what you can accomplish than where you've worked.

You'll probably thrive here if you:

- Can walk into a room full of strangers and leave with a relationship.
- Communicate confidently in English and Hindi.
- Know how to navigate institutional decision-making.
- Are comfortable with ambitious targets and real accountability.
- Can work independently without someone telling you what to do every hour.
- Are resourceful, persistent, and genuinely enjoy meeting people.
- Want to grow with a company rather than simply fill a position.

Experience selling to schools or educational institutions is a solid advantage.
