ABOUT

Agnikul Cosmos is a company incubated at IIT Madras and we build rockets that can take satellites up to 500 kg to Lower Earth Orbit (LEO). In May 2024, we successfully completed our maiden launch from our own launchpad (India's first private launchpad). The launch has proven all the new technologies developed by Agnikul and also earned recognition from Honourable Prime Minister of India.

As an Growth Strategy Associate in the Office of the CBO, you will work at the intersection of business strategy, market intelligence, commercial partnerships, and government engagement. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role where you will support and drive workstreams that directly influence Agnikul's growth trajectory. You will work closely with the Chief Business Officer and be part of a lean, high-output team shaping Agnikul's positioning in the global new space economy.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Conduct market research and competitive intelligence on the global and Indian space launch ecosystem - customers, competitors, pricing, and trends.

  • Support development of commercial proposals, pitch materials, and business development collateral for domestic and international prospects.

  • Assist in tracking and managing relationships with key stakeholders, including potential customers, government bodies, and industry partners.

  • Prepare briefing notes, strategy documents, and presentation decks for senior leadership and external engagements.

  • Coordinate event participation for Agnikul, end-to-end, including registration, stall building, participation, representation, collaterals - build, dispatch, delivery, display and return post-event follow-ups

  • Monitor policy and regulatory developments relevant to the Indian space sector (IN-SPACe, DOS, ISRO) and synthesise implications for the business.

  • Coordinate cross-functional inputs to support conference participation, partnership negotiations, and bid processes.

  • Track and maintain business intelligence databases - event calendars, competitor activity logs, customer pipelines, and partnership trackers.

  • Support financial modelling and business case development for new opportunities, partnerships, or operating models.



Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Economics, Business, or a related field.

  • Strong analytical and structured thinking - comfortable working with data, numbers, and ambiguous problem statements.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

  • Proficiency with standard productivity tools - Excel/Sheets, PowerPoint/Slides, and research platforms.

  • 0-3 years of experience; fresh graduates with strong internship experience are welcome to apply.

  • Must be available to work extended hours and weekends as needed - we're building rockets, not clocks.


PREFERRED

  • Prior experience or internship in consulting, investment banking, business development, or a startup environment.

  • Familiarity with the Indian space sector - regulatory landscape, key stakeholders, and emerging players will be an asset but not a deal breaker.

  • Experience with financial modelling, market sizing, or competitive benchmarking.

  • Exposure to government relations, public policy, or regulatory affairs.

  • Engineering background that enables productive dialogue with technical teams.

  • Ability to manage multiple parallel work streams with tight deadlines and close attention to detail.



Benefits
  • You will have a front-row seat to building the commercial engine of one of India's most ambitious deep-tech companies.

  • Your work will directly shape how Agnikul wins customers, partners, and market share in the global launch market.

  • You will engage with some of the sharpest minds in Indian space policy, technology, and industry.

  • You will develop a rare combination of technical literacy and business acumen that few early-career professionals get.

  • You will be part of a mission that is literally changing what India can do in space.

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
