A strong grasp of the region’s agricultural landscape and proven sales expertise are critical for achieving success in this high-potential market.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute a strategic sales plan to grow market share in India, especially in Maharashtra, targeting both private-sector clients and government institutions.
  • Identify and pursue sales opportunities with government agencies, ministries, and public organizations to embed AgTech solutions (e.g., precision farming tools, IoT devices, software platforms) into regional and national agriculture programs.
  • Establish and maintain relationships with key government stakeholders and policymakers to secure contracts and foster partnerships aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability.
  • Pitch customized AgTech solutions to address government priorities in India, such as rural development, climate resilience, and food security.
  • Build and strengthen connections with private-sector clients, including farmers, agribusinesses, and distributors, to drive widespread adoption of AgTech products.
  • Conduct product demonstrations, presentations, and training sessions tailored to diverse audiences, including government officials and private stakeholders.
  • Negotiate contracts, pricing, and terms with both public and private entities, ensuring mutual value and alignment with company objectives.
  • Work closely with marketing and product teams to adapt offerings to the unique needs of Indian markets and government initiatives.
  • Track and report on sales performance, market trends, and government policies impacting agriculture in the region.
  • Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, and government forums to boost brand recognition and influence.
Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture, Business, Public Policy, Marketing, or a related field; advanced degree is a plus.
  • 3+ years of sales experience, preferably in AgTech, agriculture, or government-related sales.
  • Demonstrated success in selling to government entities or navigating public-sector procurement processes.
  • In-depth knowledge of agricultural challenges and government priorities in India (e.g., land use, export growth, sustainable farming).
  • Outstanding negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills, with the ability to connect with diverse stakeholders.
  • Ability to work independently and manage a remote sales territory effectively.
  • Fluency in English is required.
  • Willingness to travel elsewhere in India (up to 20% of the time).
  • Proficiency with CRM software (e.g., Salesforce) and sales tracking tools.

Preferred Skills:

  • Familiarity with government tender processes and procurement regulations in India.
  • Experience selling technology-based solutions (e.g., drones, sensors, farm management systems) to public and private sectors.
  • Established network within agricultural ministries, government bodies, or agribusiness communities in India.
  • Cultural awareness and adaptability to the region’s diverse business and governmental environments.
Benefits
  • Competitive base salary with performance-based commissions and incentives.
