About DeepThoughtDeepThought builds PDGMS, an Execution AI Platform for Indian manufacturers with a turnover of ₹100–500 Cr. PDGMS captures what a company’s experienced people know, turns it into rules, and runs the company’s key workflows on it, so growth does not depend on a few people in the room.

- Every engagement starts with the AI Growth Bootcamp. The company’s leadership team sits together, sees its value chain with every gap between functions marked, and works the AI workflows on its own problems. DeepThought does not walk in with a ready-made proposal; the Bootcamp shows both sides where the real bottleneck is. A company that sees the value then subscribes to PDGMS.

What you will do

1. Find manufacturers of ₹100–500 Cr turnover and the people who run them: the MD, CEO and function heads.
2. Reach them through LinkedIn and email, start conversations, and turn interest into qualified leads.
3. Set up meetings between these leaders and DeepThought's CEO.
4. Follow up after each meeting until the company books an AI Growth Bootcamp.
5. Travel to client sites for demos and Bootcamps when they are scheduled.
6. Secure signups: Bootcamps first, then PDGMS subscriptions.
7. Keep every lead, meeting and follow-up up to date in PDGMS's own CRM, so the pipeline is visible to the whole team.

Skills this work uses

- Finding the right companies and people. Researching manufacturers from their websites, annual reports, LinkedIn and industry directories, and working out who decides.
- Writing first messages that get replies. Short, specific LinkedIn messages and emails to MDs, in transparent English, about their business rather than about DeepThought.
- Running a pipeline. Tracking every lead, meeting and follow-up in a CRM, and knowing at any time what the next step is for each company.
- Following up. Keeping a conversation going across weeks, politely and on time, until the company decides.
- Reading a business.



A working sense of how a manufacturer makes money (orders, production, margins, EBITDA), enough to ask useful questions. DeepThought teaches the rest.
- Using AI tools in daily work. ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for research and first drafts, with your own judgement on what goes out.

Qualities we look for

- Curiosity before pitching. You ask questions until the MD tells you the real problem. DeepThought offers no solution before the AI Growth Bootcamp, so the early conversations are about listening.
- Ownership. Much of the work here has not been defined by anyone yet. You decide the next step and take it, without waiting to be told.
- Achievement mindset. You want to earn your results and your incentives through your own work.
- Learning from setbacks. When a lead goes cold or a deal is lost, you find out why and use it on the next one.
- People-centred. You share what works with the team and ask for help early.
- Honesty with clients. You promise only what DeepThought can deliver.

Who this role suits

- About 2 years of B2B experience, either selling business software or IT services (such as ERP, CRM, MES or IT/ITeS services), or in business development or sales at, or for, a manufacturing company.
- Comfortable writing to and speaking with MDs and senior managers, in clear English, by email, on LinkedIn and in person.
- Willing to travel to client sites when demos and Bootcamps are scheduled.
- Based in Hyderabad, or ready to move here, and able to work from the Sainikpuri office.
