Business Development Internship

The work is about growing demand for the Oncodefend platform and building its business development pipeline. The post names five areas of responsibility:

• Support the planning and running of demand-generation efforts for the platform.
• Research possible audiences, partners, communities and outreach routes.
• Help set up and manage the pipeline, from first discovery of a prospect through to engagement.
• Build relationships, explain the platform's value to people, and offer ideas for growing the brand.
• Keep a record of outreach, learn from what the market says back, and own growth projects that match what you can handle.

Interns work with the founders, who are IIM graduates, and with oncologists, CHROs, professors and other mentors.

The post does not name a degree or a year of study. It describes the person it wants:

• Real interest in business development, growth, sales, marketing or building a startup.
• Clear communication, curiosity, initiative, and openness to learning from experienced mentors.
• Ability to work on your own in an online setup and take responsibility for the outcomes assigned to you.
• Serious interest in contributing to a new healthtech venture and widening your professional network.

The internship is remote and lasts six months. Candidates based in Bangalore may get occasional in-person meetups.

• Prepare a small example of research you have done: a short list of communities or partners for some cause, with a line on why each fits. It shows the kind of discovery work this role involves.
• Practise explaining a product's value in a few plain sentences, in writing and aloud, since relationship-building and outreach depend on it.
• Learn the basics of a sales pipeline, meaning the stages from first contact to engagement, and how people track them in a simple sheet.
• Read about Oncodefend's focus on cancer awareness and prevention so you can say clearly why this area interests you.
• Be ready to show how you have worked without supervision, such as a college project or club task you drove yourself.
