About NxtWave

NxtWave is founded by Rahul Attuluri (Ex-Amazon, IIIT Hyderabad), Sashank Reddy (IIT Bombay), and Anupam Pedarla (IIT Kharagpur). In February 2023, NxtWave raised 275 crore led by Greater Pacific Capital, a leading international private equity firm, and is also backed by Orios Ventures, Better Capital, and marquee angels including founders of some of India's unicorns.

NxtWave is one of India's fastest-growing EdTech startups, transforming youth into highly skilled tech professionals — irrespective of educational background — through its CCBP 4.0 programs.

As an official partner for NSDC under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India, and recognized by NASSCOM, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Startup India, NxtWave has earned recognition including 'The Greatest Brand in Education' (URS Media) and the T-Hub 'Startup Spotlight Award 2023'. Founders Anupam Pedarla and Sashank Gujjula were featured in Forbes India's 2024 30 Under 30 list.

NxtWave removes the entry barrier to learning tech skills through vernacular content and interactive learning — because learning in one's mother tongue drives higher comprehension, deeper attention, longer retention, and greater outcomes.

NxtWave has paid subscribers across 647+ districts in India, and in just 2.5 years, CCBP 4.0 learners have been hired by 2000+ companies including Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, and Deloitte.

What You'll Be Doing

• Acting as a mentor and career guide for prospective learners exploring a shift into tech.
• Counselling learning prospects — understanding their goals, addressing concerns, and showing how CCBP 4.0 programs can accelerate their careers.
• Establishing the effectiveness and uniqueness of CCBP 4.0 programs through structured conversations and product walkthroughs.
• Owning the full sales closing lifecycle for assigned leads — calls/video calls, product demonstration, closing, and post-sales relationship management.
• Maintaining a detailed, disciplined database of every lead interaction and feeding back lead quality insights to the wider team.
• Carrying and consistently delivering on weekly revenue and enrollment targets.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 1 year of sales or business development experience, ideally in EdTech, upskilling, or another high-velocity B2C sales environment.
• Excellent Telugu communication skills, along with strong interpersonal and presentation abilities.
• Only candidates who have completed graduation and are not currently pursuing any degree should apply.
• A consultative, empathetic sales style — able to build genuine rapport and trust with prospects rather than push a transaction.
• A systematic approach to pipeline management: building sales funnels, tracking follow-ups, prioritising tasks, and consistently hitting targets within deadlines.
• Resilience and hunger — someone who stays motivated through a high-volume, target-driven role.
• Comfort with CRM tools (Salesforce) and lead-tracking systems, or a fast willingness to learn them.
• A genuine passion for delivering a high standard of customer service at every stage of the funnel.

Compensation & Location

• CTC: 5.4 LPA fixed + up to 3 LPA in performance-based variable pay/incentives (total earning potential up to 8.4 LPA).
• Work Location: Hyderabad (Work From Office).
