Thinkster Careers · Pune 2026
Looking for a Growth Intern Job in Pune where research meets real business growth? Thinkster is hiring a curious, proactive Growth Intern to explore new business opportunities, identify potential clients, build prospect databases, and start meaningful conversations through LinkedIn and email. If you enjoy discovering businesses and turning research into opportunities, this is where your growth journey begins.
This is your chance to learn digital prospecting, lead generation, professional outreach, and client acquisition while working alongside our growth and leadership teams. No prior experience is required — just a willingness to learn, communicate thoughtfully, and turn good research into meaningful connections.
Why This Growth Intern Job in Pune Stands Out
Growth is not just about finding more contacts. It is about finding the right businesses, understanding their needs, and starting conversations that can lead to genuine opportunities. At Thinkster, you’ll learn how research, personalised communication, and consistent follow-ups contribute to business development.
As a Growth Intern in Pune, you’ll identify potential clients through LinkedIn, company websites, online directories, and other digital platforms. You’ll research decision-makers, organise prospect lists, draft outreach messages, and help our team identify businesses that could benefit from our branding, website development, social media marketing, and digital marketing services.
This is a desk-based internship focused on online prospecting and professional communication — not field sales or door-to-door selling. You’ll receive guidance from experienced team members and learn how a structured growth pipeline works from the first search to a qualified business opportunity.

Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a Growth Intern with strong research and communication skills who is curious about how businesses grow. You don’t need years of experience or an impressive sales record. You need the willingness to investigate, organise information, write thoughtful messages, and learn from feedback.
- Pursuing or recently completed a degree or diploma in Business, Marketing, Communications, Management, or a related field. Candidates from any discipline may be considered.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
