About the Role
Nikshala AI is looking for a Sales & Business Development Executive who can take ownership of revenue generation in India.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage lead follow-ups and maintain a disciplined sales pipeline
• Work towards defined monthly and quarterly revenue targets
• Conduct webinars and information sessions for prospective students
• Follow up with webinar participants and convert interested prospects
• Identify relevant upselling and cross-selling opportunities
Business Development
• Identify colleges and universities across India for potential collaborations
• Reach out to university management, international offices, placement cells and relevant departments
• Build relationships that can generate leads, webinars and institutional partnerships
• Coordinate university seminars, webinars and student engagement initiatives
• Represent Nikshala AI professionally during institutional discussions
• Identify new partnerships, distribution opportunities and revenue channels
• Take ownership of opportunities from initial outreach through commercial discussion and execution
Candidate Requirements
We are specifically looking for someone with:
• Minimum 2 years of relevant experience in study abroad / overseas education sales
• Strong sales and closing ability
• Excellent spoken English
• Confidence communicating with students, parents and institutional representatives
• Strong persuasion, negotiation and follow-up skills
• Ability to independently conduct webinars and presentations
• Comfort working with revenue targets and performance metrics
• A proactive business-development mindset
• Ability to represent Nikshala professionally in external meetings
• Willingness and ability to commute to the Bhayandar East work location
This is not an entry-level position. Freshers and candidates without relevant sales experience will not be considered.
Compensation
During 6-month probation: ₹25,000/month + performance-based commission
After successful completion of probation: ₹35,000/month + performance-based commission
A progressive commission model will be applicable, allowing high performers to significantly increase their overall earnings based on revenue generated.
