Business Development Intern

Business Development Intern

Brainy Neurals is an AI-native engineering company out of Ahmedabad, built from one person to a team of fifteen-plus without outside funding. We design AI visual inspection systems for manufacturers, and that focus traces back to our founder's early years optimizing computer-vision models in C++ for edge devices.

As a Business Development Intern, you'd help the team open doors with plant heads, quality heads, ops heads, and digital or IT heads at manufacturers in auto-components, brake pads, metal stamping, and electronics, across India and nearby export markets. The outreach we send always references something specific, like a prospect's actual defect problem or the plant they run. Generic pitches get deleted, and research-backed ones get replies.

What you'll do

• Build and keep current a list of manufacturing accounts that fit our ICP, using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Crunchbase, and ZoomInfo.
• Run outbound email and LinkedIn sequences through our stack, GMass and Dripify, and log every reply the same day it lands.
• Watch for intent signals, funding news, plant expansions, new launches, or a hiring push for AI and vision roles, and flag the sharp ones to the Director.
• Keep the CRM and pipeline honest. Every lead gets a stage and a dated next step.
• Turn rough discovery-call notes into clean follow-up emails and proposal outlines, often working with Claude to do it fast and well.

What we're looking for

• You write in plain, specific terms, and if you can't say what you mean clearly, we'll notice it in your application before we notice it in an outreach email.
• Ownership matters here, and it shows up in the small moments. When you miss something, you say so and bring a fix.
• Comfort with AI tools matters too. You should already lean on Claude or ChatGPT for your own work, and you should be able to write a sharp, specific prompt rather than a vague one.
• You need a thick skin for cold outreach. Rejection is routine here, and the next message still has to go out.

What you'll gain

• You get direct exposure to enterprise sales for deep-tech work, from the first LinkedIn comment through a closed deal.
• Expect mentorship from the Director, with fast, direct feedback on every message you send.
• You build working fluency in the stack companies actually pay for, tools like Dripify, GMass, Sales Navigator, Apollo, and a live CRM.
• This also puts you on a clear, named path to a full-time Business Development Executive role, if the fit works both ways.
