About Growthora Advisory

At Growthora Advisory, we partner with startups, MSMEs, fast-growing enterprises, NGOs, and institutions to help them build, grow, and scale with clarity. From foundational business structuring and regulatory compliance to strategic fundraising, market expansion, and SME IPO advisory, we combine practical business strategy with execution-focused guidance.

Our core philosophy drives everything we do: Strategize. Structure. Scale.

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-energy, ambitious Business Development Associate / Manager to drive client acquisition across our advisory and consulting verticals.

While relevant experience is valuable, we strongly welcome proactive fresh graduates who possess natural consultative acumen, a solid grasp of business fundamentals, and a hunger to build an impactful career in management consulting and corporate advisory.

In this role, you will be the front face of Growthora Advisory, engaging with business promoters, startup founders, and senior decision-makers to identify their structural, compliance, or capital needs and recommend tailored Growthora solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Prospecting & Lead Sourcing: Identify and qualify prospective B2B clients—ranging from early-stage founders to established MSME owners—through LinkedIn outreach, cold calling, networking, and industry research.

• Consultative Pitching: Conduct preliminary discovery conversations to understand clients' operational bottlenecks, compliance gaps, growth bottlenecks, or capital requirements.

• Solution Positioning: Introduce Growthora’s core advisory suites (incorporation, Startup India/MSME schemes, growth consulting, compliance, fundraising support, and SME IPO pathways).

• Deal Closing & Negotiations: Coordinate with internal subject matter experts to draft proposals, structure service scopes, follow up relentlessly, and close retainers or advisory mandates.

• Ecosystem Engagement: Build referral connections with ecosystem partners like CAs, corporate lawyers, startup hubs, incubators, and business networks.

Candidate Profile & Desired Skills

We prioritize drive, strategic thinking, and coachability over years on a resume.

What We Look For in Freshers & Early-Career Candidates:

• Commercial & Business Curiosity: An eager interest in how companies operate, raise funds, scale, or navigate regulations (e.g., keen interest in startups, MSMEs, venture capital, or public markets).

• Executive Presence & Communication: Confident, articulate verbal communication and clear business-writing skills. You must be comfortable conversing with experienced promoters and founders without feeling intimidated.

• Research & Analytical Rigor: Ability to quickly dissect a company’s profile, identify their pain points, and speak to their specific industry context.

• Resilience & Hustle: Outbound client acquisition requires persistence, thick skin, active listening, and consistent follow-through.

• Foundational Knowledge: Basic familiarity with business entities (Pvt Ltd, LLP), government initiatives (Startup India, MSME/Udyam), or financial fundamentals is a strong advantage.

Educational Background:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business Administration (BBA/MBA), Commerce (B.Com/M.Com), Economics, Law, or a related field.

• Candidates with relevant internships, student entrepreneurship cell (E-Cell) involvement, or mock consulting/case-competition experience will stand out.

What We Offer

• Direct Mentorship: Hands-on training on client acquisition, corporate structuring, B2B deal-making, and high-value advisory sales directly from leadership.

• Lucrative Upside: Fixed base salary with an uncapped, aggressive performance commission structure tied to closed mandates.

• Fast-Track Trajectory: A direct path to leading vertical practices or heading regional business development as the firm scales.

• High-Level Exposure: Front-row seat to real-world corporate transformations, promoter consultations, and institutional deal pipelines.

How to Apply

• It is a Full Time Sales / Business Development job for candidates with 0 - 3 years of experience.
