Business Development Intern

The Premise

We’ve already proven we can scale in India — the toughest, most price-sensitive market on the planet.

Margins thin. Competition brutal. Consumers unpredictable.

And we still grew.

Now the mission is simple:

Take that same DNA — and go global.

US. UAE. Southeast Asia.

Real markets. Real growth. Real brand dominance.

This isn’t another “marketing internship.”

This is your seat at the table where brands are built, not advertised.

What We’re Building

It’s a daily rituals ecosystem built on behavioral design, not discounting.

We don’t sell soaps, serums, or scrubs.

We sell identity. Habit. Emotion. Continuity.

Every SKU is a story.

Every page is a trigger.

Every customer interaction is a data point in how humans behave.

an IIT Delhi founder team

We’re not a startup chasing trends.

We’re a belief system turning into a global business.

The Role — Operator. Builder. Problem-Solver.

Titles don’t matter. Impact does.

You’ll operate at the intersection of commerce, systems, and psychology — driving real growth.

Your work will include:

• Shopify catalog listings that convert through narrative, not discounts.
• Vendor onboarding and coordination with suppliers and logistics partners.
• Influencer collaborations that drive real conversions, not vanity metrics.
• SEO and organic discoverability across global search markets.
• Customer communication and COD confirmations to understand buyer intent.
• International order fulfillment and shipping oversight.
• Continuous experimentation — 20–50 tests per month across funnels, offers, and experiences.

You’ll build, break, and rebuild systems fast — learning the full-stack reality of how global D2C is built.

Who You Need to Be

Someone who thinks like a founder, not a follower.

Someone who can handle speed, chaos, and accountability without losing clarity.

Someone who speaks in metrics — not moods.

Someone who understands that Shopify is not a storefront but a behavioral engine.

Someone who’s hungry to build something global, not decorate a résumé.

You’ll be working directly with the IIT Delhi founder team — people who’ve already built, scaled, and sold in India’s most competitive markets.

No corporate layers. No HR drama. No hand-holding.

What You Get

• Mentorship from IIT Delhi founders on product, brand, and systems thinking.
• Exposure to the entire D2C growth stack — from listing to logistics to lifetime value.
• Profit-linked incentives and fast-track opportunity to a full-time international role.
• Ownership, autonomy, and the freedom to experiment.
• The kind of learning curve that rewires how you think about business forever.

If you’re good, this role won’t make you comfortable.

It’ll make you dangerous.

The Filter

If you need reassurance, skip this.

If you want comfort, skip this.

If you want a checklist internship, skip this.

But if you feel that pull in your gut —

that this is the kind of chaos worth betting on —

then the seat is open.

It won’t stay open.
