Thinkster’s looking for a sharp-shooting, deal-closing, relationship-building Business Development Manager to join our growing squad in Pune. You’ll be the front-runner of all things new biz — from handshakes to high-stakes pitches — and lead a lean mean BD team that doesn’t just meet targets, but smashes them.
If you’ve got 3–4 years of BD hustle in your back pocket, know how to lead a team like a pro, and can talk your way into (and out of) any boardroom — keep reading.

- 🧭 Sniff out opportunities in the wild — untapped markets, hidden revenue, partnerships waiting to happen.
- 🧑🏫 Lead, guide, and hype up our Business Development Associates to hit and break sales goals.
