A site is a small rural plant that buys biomass from nearby farmers and turns it into carbon for steelmakers. Our first site is in Assam; the next is planned in West Bengal. Our head office is at B. Garden, Howrah. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Own the top of the funnel Your target is 300 contacts and 3 qualified sites a month. You won't just make calls. Every new site starts with a conversation you began.
• Map clusters of aggregators, FPOs and farmer groups by district and biomass type.
• Make around 60 calls and messages a day, of which 12 to 15 are new contacts, and hold first-level meetings.
• Qualify each cluster against our site checklist, log it, and hand it over with explicit notes. Work with AI We train you to use AI for research, drafting and call notes.
• Research and map prospects, and draft personalised outreach in Bengali and Hindi.
• Summarise calls and keep the pipeline current. Grow into site negotiations You start at the first meeting. Over time, we train you to run site negotiations, first by sitting in on later-stage meetings. A NORMAL WEEK Monday: build the call list. Tuesday to Friday: calls, plus one or two first meetings. Saturday: update the pipeline and hand over. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Either about 3 years in rural or agri sales, procurement, FPO or NGO work, or microfinance,
or a fresher with significant internships or projects plus a professor's recommendation.
• Persistent, disciplined with records, and fluent in Bengali and Hindi. Assamese a plus. PAY AND TERMS: COMMISSION ON CONVERSIONS

• Conversion: a cluster the Director accepts as a prospected site within 15 days of your first meeting, against our site checklist (enough biomass within reach, a willing aggregator, the decision-maker met). Clusters we already know do not count. The Director's decision is final.
