Business Development Intern

THE OPPORTUNITY

Every morning in Hyderabad, somewhere, eight workers are standing idle on a construction site because one 300 fitting ran out. Someone gets sent across the city to find it. Half a day disappears.

I watched this happen from behind a hardware counter for four years. So I built Buildenza, a quick-commerce platform for building materials. More than 1,000 products are live, and we're launching 60-minute delivery to construction sites across Kondapur, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hafeezpet, Nallagandla, Tellapur and Lingampally.

The products are ready. We need people on the ground who can turn a platform full of products into contractors who actually order.

That could be you.

One honest thing before you read further: this is not a desk internship. You won't create slides or attend presentations. You'll be on real construction sites from your first week, in the sun, talking to people who've never heard of us. Some days most of them won't want to talk. If that sounds exhausting, this isn't for you, and that's fine. If it sounds like the most real thing you could do with two months, keep reading.

WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

• Your own map of the city. Every live construction site in your area: who's building, what stage they're at, who the supervisor is
• First conversations. Introducing Buildenza to contractors and site supervisors in Hindi and Telugu, and understanding what their sites actually need
• First orders. Following up on WhatsApp until a conversation turns into a delivered order
• Buildenza's presence on the ground. Our site boards at the sites where shortages happen
• The story. Short videos of real deliveries and site activity, filmed on your phone, that become our marketing
• The truth from the field. What customers ask for, what stops them ordering, what competitors are saying. What you bring back, I act on

Measured on outcomes: sites you open, first orders you bring in.

CULTURE

• A small team, no departments. You'll see how every part of a company works, not just one corner of it
• You work directly with me, every day
• Your ideas get tested that week, not filed for later

WHERE THIS TAKES YOU

• The best intern doesn't wait until the end. The strongest performer can be promoted to a full-time field role during the internship
• Opened a new market for a startup from the ground up is worth more on your CV than any certificate, though you'll get one of those too, along with a letter of recommendation

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• A paid internship: monthly stipend, fuel support, and incentives for every site you bring in that orders
• Real sales experience in a live company, not a simulation
• Mentorship from someone who's sold to this exact customer for years

IS THIS YOU

• Based in Hyderabad, ideally near Kondapur, Gachibowli or Madhapur
• You speak Hindi and Telugu comfortably
• Available full-time for 2 months, starting immediately
• You'd walk up to a stranger on a construction site and start a conversation
• A two-wheeler helps a lot
• Freshers welcome. Curiosity and turning up on time matter more than experience

Here's what I can't promise: that it'll be easy or comfortable.

Here's what I can: in two months, you'll know more about how a business actually wins customers than most people learn in two years.

Answer one question: Why would you rather spend two months on construction sites than do an internship from home
