Business Development Intern – Sales & Growth

MaVX (MavensWorld Consulting) | Gurugram (Hybrid) | Internship, with potential for full-time conversion

About MaVX

MaVX is an AI-enabled expert network connecting 14,000+ curated industrial specialists with leading consulting firms, private equity investors and enterprise clients. We specialise in heavy manufacturing sectors – steel, automotive, chemicals, defence and advanced manufacturing – and have a long-standing relationship with McKinsey India spanning 100+ engagements.

Founded by a former McKinsey and EY leader with 35 years of industry experience, MaVX sits at the intersection of deep domain expertise and AI-driven discovery. We believe human expertise becomes more valuable, not less, in an AI era – and we're building the network that proves it.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a sharp, driven Business Development Intern to work directly with our CEO and drive revenue growth across three fronts:

• Expert staffing projects – matching MaVX specialists to consulting and PE client engagements
• Full-time hiring assignments – placing industrial talent into permanent roles for our clients
• Research and benchmarking projects – supporting client-commissioned studies and market intelligence work

This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants real ownership of a sales funnel, not just admin support – working alongside a founder who will personally mentor you through the BD process from lead to close.

What You'll Do

• Own the BD funnel: work our CRM to identify, qualify and re-engage leads across consulting firms, PE funds and corporate clients
• Convert conversations into projects: track outreach, follow-ups and proposals through to signed engagements
• Manage marketing collateral: keep decks, one-pagers, case studies and pitch materials sharp, current and client-ready
• Apply digital marketing and SEO thinking: support content distribution, LinkedIn outreach, email campaigns and keyword/AI-search optimisation to improve inbound visibility
• Support research and benchmarking: help scope and coordinate delivery on client research assignments
• Client-facing exposure: join prospect meetings and visit clients in person where useful to move a deal forward
• Work directly with the CEO: shape BD strategy, not just execute tasks

What We're Looking For

• Undergraduate students or those who have recently completed graduation (preferred)
• Working knowledge of digital marketing fundamentals and SEO/AI search keyword practices
• Comfortable with CRM tools, spreadsheets and structured follow-up systems (or a fast learner)
• Sharp written communication – you'll be representing MaVX in emails and on LinkedIn
• A genuine problem-solver: someone who sees a stuck deal or a messy dataset as a puzzle, not a blocker
• CAN-DO attitude – ownership mindset, comfortable with ambiguity, doesn't wait to be told twice
• Based in or able to commute within the Gurugram NCR region; open to occasional prospect visits

What You'll Gain

• Direct mentorship from a CEO with 35 years of experience across McKinsey, EY, Tata Steel and JSW ISPAT
• Real exposure to how consulting and PE engagements are won and staffed, not a simulated project
• A front-row seat to industrial sectors – steel, auto, chemicals, defence – that most internships never touch
• Strong performers will be offered full-time placement at MaVX

Logistics

• Model: Hybrid, with in-person collaboration expected in Gurugram and prospect visits as needed
• Duration: 3 to 6 months
• Stipend: INR 10000 pm + attractive conversion incentives
