Business Development Internship
Skillumni has an opening for a Business Development Associate Intern on its sales team in Bangalore, working with inbound and outbound leads. It pays ₹17,000 a month, which is below typical for similar internships in the city, and applications close on 21 Oct 2026.
What the work involves
This is an inside sales internship. You contact prospective customers by phone and other channels the company has approved, work out what each person needs, explain the offerings that fit, and tell them what happens next.
The targets are set per day and per week, covering both activity and conversions, so your output gets measured. You also keep the lead records accurate, follow up regularly, and report progress to your manager. Some of the job is working with other internal teams so leads are picked up on time and customers have a smooth experience.
Beyond the calls, you sit in on team reviews, pick up how the sales process runs, and help with wider business development efforts.
Who can apply, and what the schedule looks like
The post is aimed at freshers, recent graduates and early-career candidates. It asks for strong communication, listening, persuasion and interpersonal skills.
- You should be fine working on-site in a sales job that runs on targets.
- You work six days a week, and Tuesday is your day off.
- You should be able to travel to BTM Layout in Bangalore regularly, since that is where the work happens.
- Candidates need to be between 19 and 25 years old.

How crowded is it?
4 registered so far Lower competition
Competition looks lower than for similar roles, going by the number of people who registered on the original listing. That is a reason to apply soon rather than a reason to relax.
How to get ready
- Practise explaining something simple to a stranger in a minute or two, then listen back. Calls reward clear, short explanations.
- Have a story ready about a time you persuaded someone or handled a tricky conversation, even if it happened in college.
- Get comfortable with targets. It helps to have an example of a goal you tracked and hit, or missed and learned from.
- Learn the basic idea of qualifying a lead and keeping a follow-up list, since record keeping is part of the work.
- Check the travel time to BTM Layout and think honestly about a six-day week before you apply.
