Are you excited about startups, technology, and shaping the future of transportation? Do you want to gain hands-on experience in sales, marketing, and customer research within a deep-tech startup? If yes, this opportunity is for you.

We are looking for a Business Research & Sales Intern who is curious, self-driven, and eager to learn. This internship is designed for individuals who want to do meaningful work, not just earn a certificate. You’ll be directly contributing to our go-to-market journey by helping us understand customers, refine our sales approach, and validate our product in the real world.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct research to understand customer segments and dynamics in the logistics and transportation industry.
• Identify and profile potential customers and partners.
• Explore and test different communication channels to engage with prospects.
• Support MVP validation by gathering insights through interviews and surveys.
• Assist in designing a simple sales workflow based on findings.
• Contribute to marketing initiatives (social media, LinkedIn, email outreach).
• Help organize demos, events, and presentations for clients and stakeholders.
• Prepare reports and insights to support the leadership team.

What We’re Looking For

• Students or recent graduates in Business/Management (other disciplines with an interest in sales/marketing are also welcome).
• Strong communication and analytical skills.
• Curious, proactive, and comfortable with both desk research and direct conversations.
• Familiarity with tools like Google Forms/Typeform, Trello/Notion, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and CRM platforms (HubSpot/Salesforce) is a plus.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel for data analysis and reporting.
• Based in Kerala (preferred), with flexibility to work in a hybrid setup.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on exposure to sales and marketing in a deep-tech startup environment.
• Direct mentorship from the founders and leadership team.
• The opportunity to make a real impact on customer discovery and go-to-market execution.
• An internship certificate upon successful completion.

If you’re based in Kerala and excited to learn, grow, and contribute to a high-growth startup, we’d love to hear from you!
