Business Development Trainee

About Blendonomics

Blendonomics supplies premium coffee beans, hot chocolate and beverage products to cafes across India. We are expanding our presence in Pune and looking for someone passionate about coffee, food and cafe culture to become part of our growing team.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Business Development Trainee who will represent Blendonomics across Pune, build relationships with cafe owners, conduct product tastings and help expand our cafe and distributor network. This is not a conventional target-driven sales role. It is about understanding the cafe ecosystem, building genuine relationships and helping businesses discover products that complement their menus.

Key Responsibilities

• Visit cafes across Pune that have expressed interest in our products and identify new potential cafe partners.
• Conduct product tastings and explain our coffee, hot chocolate and beverage offerings.
• Interact with cafe owners and baristas to understand their requirements, menu preferences and business challenges.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with cafe partners.
• Maintain daily records of cafe visits and submit weekly field reports to the head office.
• Follow up with cafe partners to encourage repeat orders and long-term relationships.
• Coordinate with the head office team and distribution partners to strengthen Blendonomics' presence in Pune.

Who Should Apply?

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a genuine interest in coffee, food and cafe culture.
• Enjoys exploring cafes and understanding different beverage offerings.
• Has strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Can communicate effectively in English, Hindi and Marathi.
• Is proactive, self-motivated and consistent with follow-ups.
• Owns a two-wheeler and holds a valid driving licence.
• Is comfortable travelling across Pune for field visits.

Educational Qualification: Open to candidates from all educational backgrounds. We value interest, initiative and execution over degrees.

This is a full-time opportunity and is not suitable for students attending regular day college.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work directly with the founder as part of the core team.
• Fixed compensation along with fuel support.
• Additional earnings on every order generated from cafes you onboard.
• Practical training in the cafe industry, beverage products and B2B business development.
• Opportunity to grow into a leadership role and eventually lead the Pune market.
• Initial trial period, followed by an opportunity for a full-time role based on performance.

How to Apply

Interested candidates can apply directly through LinkedIn with their updated resume. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a screening interview with our team.

Expected Joining: After the Diwali holidays.
