Business Development Intern

Internship
Mumbai, New Delhi

This is an internship role within Nugen Intelligence's Sales and Marketing team, designed for an MBA student who wants hands-on exposure to how a fast-growing AI company builds pipeline, launches programs, and works across sales and marketing. Strong performers will be considered for a full-time role at the end of the internship.

You will work closely with our marketing and sales teams to support event programs, founder and operator community initiatives, and pipeline generation efforts. This is a chance to learn how a company's growth strategy comes together in practice, and to contribute directly to programs that shape how customers and prospects experience the Nugen brand.

You will collaborate with stakeholders across sales, customer success, product marketing, and demand generation. The role gives exposure to the full sales and marketing function, from field events to prospecting to program measurement, and is suited for someone who wants to build real operating experience rather than only observe from the sidelines.

  • Support planning and execution of field events, executive dinners, roundtables, workshops, and partner activations
  • Help build and manage invite lists, working with sales to ensure attendance from priority accounts

  • Help qualify inbound leads and coordinate a smooth handoff to the Account Executive team
  • Work with marketing and sales to refine messaging based on market and customer feedback
  • Stay current on AI and machine learning trends to hold informed conversations with prospects and internal stakeholders

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing an MBA at a top-tier business school
  • Demonstrated interest in technology, sales, or marketing within the AI and machine learning space
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to work independently and manage priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

Skills You Will Need to Bring

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with both technical and business stakeholders
  • Genuine interest in AI, machine learning, and how enterprise and developer teams are adopting these technologies
  • Comfort working across functions, including sales, marketing, creative, and customer success
  • Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
  • A proactive mindset, willing to take ownership of tasks without needing constant direction

Nice to Haves

  • Prior experience in a startup, technology, or high-growth environment
  • Exposure to B2B SaaS, founder-led sales and marketing, or early-stage growth strategy
  • Experience supporting or organizing in-person events or conferences
  • Familiarity with CRM and sales engagement tools such as Salesforce, Outreach, or Apollo

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior internship or work experience in a startup, SaaS, or technology company
  • Undergraduate degree in engineering, computer science, or a related technical field
  • Active interest in AI and tech communities, with a demonstrated habit of continuous learning
  • Prior customer-facing experience, in a sales, marketing, or client-support capacity
