Marketing, Business Development & Outreach — Intern / Fresh MBA GiftdMinds

GiftdMinds · Bangalore (on-site) · Internship or Full-time

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲

GiftdMinds is a NASSCOM Centre of Excellence-recognised deep-tech R&D Product + EdTech startup.

We spend 75% of our time in core product R&D - build quadruped robots, chase satellites, prepare sounding rockets, and refine ornithopters. Rest 25%, we transform into an R&D lab for some of the smartest, most passionate 10–16 year-olds in Bangalore — young minds building hard-core, hands-on engineering skills and real products.

We're at a stage where our work speaks for itself once people experience it. Now we are in the growth phase : cutting through the noise to connect with the right customers, the right partners, and the right collaborators — and bringing them close enough to see what we do. That's the heart of this role.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗪𝗡

▸ 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Identify and build the channels that reach forward-thinking, discerning parents — the ones who understand that marks alone won't prepare their child for the future. This is not about spraying ads into the void. It's targeted, strategic outreach: the right events, the right communities, the right partnerships, the right referral engines.

▸ 𝗣𝗿𝗲-𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 & 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗻𝘂𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. Take calls from interested parents. Understand what they want for their child. Tell the GiftdMinds story with genuine conviction. Get them excited enough to come and experience what we do in person. You are the human bridge between curiosity and commitment — and you'll need excellent communication and real warmth to do it.

▸ 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 & 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀.

Open doors with tech companies (robotics, EVs, drones, aerospace, space), academic and research institutions (IISc, IIA, observatories), and government bodies (IN-SPACe, ISRO, HAL, NAL, TISC). Every one of these is a potential source of exposure for our students or collaboration for our products. You'll help shape these relationships from first contact onward.

▸ 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 & 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀. Deep-tech R&D and our flagship annual showcase event run on partnerships and sponsors. You'll help build the relationships that bring in sponsors, chief guests, and collaborators — and get our founder into the right rooms with the right people across tech, media, and the investment ecosystem.

𝗔 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲

You'll own the top of the funnel completely — and you'll partner directly with the founder on the high-stakes conversations. If "I got our founder into a meeting that mattered, and I was in the room" sounds like the kind of win you want on your record early in your career — this is that role.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗪𝗘'𝗥𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗢𝗥

▸ An MBA intern or fresh MBA graduate (marketing, business development, or general management). Strong undergrads with exceptional communication and a hustle track record will also be considered — the degree matters less than the drive.

▸ Genuinely excellent communication — written and spoken. You'll be representing GiftdMinds to discerning parents, senior executives, and government officials. You need to hold all three rooms.

▸ A strategic mind, not just an executor. We don't need someone to run generic campaigns. We need someone who can figure out 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 the right people actually are and how to reach them.

▸ Comfort with ambiguity and ownership. This is a bootstrapped startup. You'll have enormous responsibility and enormous latitude. No one will hand you a playbook — you'll write it.

▸ Real belief in the mission. If you think hands-on skills matter more than rote marks, if you get why a young teenager building a functional product prototype is extraordinary — you'll thrive here. If not, you'll struggle.

𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘

GiftdMinds is a unique mix of moonshot R&D and education — where expert engineers, college undergrads, and some of the most talented children in the country work side by side. Our mission is to build Made-in-India products indigenously, and to prepare the next generation of rocket scientists, radio astronomers, roboticists and innovators who will power a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦

📍 On-site in Bangalore. This role lives on relationships — it can't be done remotely.

📅 Internship or full-time. Strong interns convert to full-time.

💰 Compensation competitive and based on fit. We're bootstrapped and honest about it — but the ownership, the founder access, and the mission are extraordinary for someone early in their career.

📝 To apply: Send us a short note (write it yourself, not ChatGPT) on the most creative way you'd reach the right families and partners for a startup like ours in Bangalore. That note matters more to us than your CV. Apply via LinkedIn or DM the founder directly. The kind of person we want for this role wouldn't wait for a formal application anyway.
