Advertising & Sales Intern

About bataSutra

bataSutra is an Indian content platform dedicated to educating and informing the next generation of professionals. We create deep-dive text content—including articles, newsletters, and headlines—focused on Business, Science, and Technology.

While we are currently scaling our media presence through premium writing, our long-term roadmap includes developing powerful Fintech tools for the future. This internship offers a unique opportunity to help build that ecosystem's foundation early by driving growth, partnerships, and user acquisition across India.

Role Overview

We are looking for an enthusiastic Advertising & Sales Intern. In this role, you will work directly on our business development strategies, helping us identify opportunities for sponsorships, strategic partnerships, and user acquisition.

You will play a key part in proving the commercial viability of our content engine and preparing our data infrastructure for our future Fintech roadmap. We offer a performance-driven growth pathway: High-performing interns are prioritized for conversion into paid internships or full-time roles once their academic schedules align with our hiring needs.

Key Responsibilities

Partnership Development: Identify and reach out to potential partners (brands, influencers, platforms) for content sponsorships and advertising opportunities.

User Growth Strategy: Assist in executing campaigns to drive website traffic, newsletter sign-ups, and platform engagement.

Sales Support: Create and manage sales collateral (deck, email copy) to pitch services or advertisements to potential clients.

Data Analysis: Track key performance indicators (KPIs) related to user acquisition and partner engagement to optimize our revenue model.

Product Feedback: Provide direct feedback on product features based on user interactions, aiding the transition from content platform to Fintech tool.

Requirements

Education: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (any field).

Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills; ability to negotiate and persuade effectively.

Business Acumen: Understanding of marketing fundamentals, sales cycles, and how businesses generate revenue.

Tech Savvy: Comfortable using basic CRM tools, Google Sheets, and data tracking platforms.

Flexibility: Capable of managing college assignments alongside content deadlines without compromising quality.

Location: Based anywhere in India (no campus restriction).

What We Offer

Early Access: Work alongside the founders and see the company culture from Day 1, including behind-the-scenes exposure to our Fintech roadmap.

Flexible Scheduling: Build a work structure that complements your academic responsibilities; we are student-first friendly.

Revenue Impact: Directly contribute to the company's revenue growth and visibility in the Indian market.

Career Growth Pathway: High-performing interns are fast-tracked for paid internships or full-time roles upon course completion.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume along with a relevant project or document. The application material can include:

A resume highlighting any sales, marketing, or leadership experience. A brief pitch deck (if available), link to social media accounts showing audience growth, or a link to an article you have published demonstrating persuasive writing.
