Growth Strategy Intern

Dheera is an Operational Intelligence Platform built for pharmaceutical manufacturers - automating compliance, quality assurance, and manufacturing gap management for firms regulated by the USFDA and EU GMP. We are building AI products that eliminate the manual, reactive, and error-prone quality processes that have held pharma manufacturers back for decades.

Our two flagship products address some of the most pressing problems in the pharmaceutical industry today

→ AI Compliance Platform: Automates document reviews, root cause analysis, CAPA tracking, vendor qualification, and audit-ready report generation for pharmaceutical manufacturers across non-sterile and sterile segments.

→ AI Intervention Tracker: The world’s first AI-powered operator intervention tracking system for aseptic and sterile manufacturing lines - eliminating manual camera monitoring and reducing batch contamination risk in real time.

We are a founder-led company at an early and exciting stage. Every person who joins Dheera right now is not just filling a role - they are co-building a company that has the potential to transform how a $600 billion global industry manages quality and compliance. That opportunity does not come along often.

We are looking for one exceptional individual to join us as a Growth & GTM Intern, working directly and closely with the Founder across every dimension of our go-to-market strategy.

This is not a role where you shadow someone in meetings or collate data into spreadsheets. From day one, you will own real initiatives, work with real stakeholders, and see the direct impact of your work on how Dheera grows. You will be present in strategy conversations, partner calls, client outreach efforts, and content decisions. If you have ever wanted to understand how an AI company is built from the inside - this is that experience.

What Makes This Different

What You Will Build

• Direct access to the Founder - not a manager, not a team lead
• Work on a product that is solving a real, urgent problem for a regulated industry
• Exposure to GTM, sales, content, partnerships, and community - all in one role
• A recommendation from the Founder that genuinely reflects your work
• A clear, stated pathway to a full-time role based on performance
• A live GTM engine for an AI startup in pharma
• A partner network (Catalyst Program) with members across India and globally
• A LinkedIn presence and content strategy for a founder-led AI brand
• A sales pipeline from outreach to client acquisition
• A community of pharma professionals who know and trust Dheera

What You Will Work On

Outreach & Lead Generation

You will be the first point of contact between Dheera and potential clients. You will identify the right people at pharmaceutical companies - Heads of Quality, COOs, CTOs, and Chairmen - and initiate meaningful, personalised conversations that earn their attention.

• Research and build targeted prospect lists across priority geographies: Karnataka, Hyderabad, Maharashtra, Middle East, USA, and Europe.
• Craft and execute personalised outreach campaigns via LinkedIn, email, and WhatsApp.
• Track outreach activity, response rates, and booked meetings in our CRM.
• Qualify inbound interest and set up discovery calls with the Founder.

Catalyst Partner Program Management

The Catalyst Partner Network is Dheera’s distributed GTM engine - a community of pharma industry professionals across India and globally who open doors for us. You will manage this community, keep it active, and make sure partners have everything they need to succeed.

• Onboard new Catalyst partners: ex-pharma consultants, BD professionals, industry experts.
• Maintain regular communication with the partner community via WhatsApp, email, and monthly briefings.
• Track partner leads, meeting activity, and pipeline progress.
• Prepare and share partner enablement materials: pitch decks, outreach scripts, product updates.
• Identify and recruit new partner profiles in target cities and countries.

LinkedIn & Content Marketing

Dheera’s LinkedIn presence is a key channel for building brand credibility, attracting prospects, and recruiting partners. You will manage and grow this presence alongside the Founder.

• Plan and execute a weekly LinkedIn content calendar for the Dheera company page and the Founder’s personal profile.
• Write posts, carousels, and short-form content on pharma compliance, AI in manufacturing, and regulatory developments.
• Monitor engagement, respond to comments, and grow the follower base.
• Identify trending regulatory topics (FDA, EU GMP, WHO GMP) and turn them into timely content.
• Build and manage a content library of post templates, carousel formats, and messaging frameworks.

Community Building

You will help build a community of pharma professionals who see Dheera as a trusted voice in AI compliance - before they become clients.

• Identify and engage with pharma professional communities on LinkedIn, WhatsApp groups, and industry forums.
• Support the organisation of webinars, virtual events, and thought leadership sessions.
• Build relationships with pharma associations, academic groups, and regulatory communities.
• Nurture inbound community interest into qualified sales conversations.
• Sales Funnel Management & Client Acquisition Support

You will own the top and middle of the sales funnel - from the first LinkedIn message to a booked demo to a qualified proposal. You will work closely with the Founder to move opportunities through the pipeline.

• Maintain and update the CRM with all lead, partner, and client interactions.
• Prepare meeting briefs and background research for every client demo the Founder conducts.
• Follow up with prospects after demos and track next steps.
• Support proposal preparation and customisation for specific client segments.
• Track conversion rates at each stage of the funnel and suggest improvements.
