Job description

Praan (Praan, Inc.) is an impact focused deep-tech startup democratizing clean air using breakthrough filterless technology. The company is backed by top tier VCs and CXOs globally and currently operates between the United States and India. Our team puts extreme attention to detail and loves building technology that's aspirational. Praan's team and culture is positioned to empower people to solve large global problems at an accelerated pace.

Why?

Everyone worries about the dooms-day in climate change which is expected to occur in the 2050s. However, there's one doom's day which is the reality for millions of people around the world today. Air pollution takes more than 7 Million lives globally every single year. Over 5% of premature children death occur due to air pollution in developing countries. Everyone has relied on governments or experts to solve the problem, but most solutions up until today have either been too expensive or too ineffective. Praan is an attempt at making the future cleaner, healthier, and safer for the generations to come.

What you'll do

• Own inbound leads from our website, WhatsApp, Instagram, events, and referrals, and reply within hours, not days
• Qualify each lead: the space, the air quality problem, budget, timeline, and who makes the decision
• Run product walkthroughs and video demos, and explain how filterless purification works without the jargon
• Close home and small business deals end to end, covering the quote, negotiation, payment, and handover to installation
• Qualify large project leads (developers, architects, corporates) and pass them to the BDM team with full context
• Follow up on warm leads and bring cold ones back to life
• Work with our project team on site surveys and installations so the customer is never left guessing
• Keep the CRM accurate and your pipeline numbers honest
• Share what you hear on calls with product and marketing: objections, pricing pushback, feature requests

What you bring

• 1 to 5 years in inside sales or customer-facing sales where you owned closures, not just call volumes
• A record of hitting monthly targets, and numbers to back it up
• Experience selling a considered, higher-ticket product to buyers who ask a lot of questions
• Clear, warm communication on phone, video, and WhatsApp.
• Fast follow-up and good CRM discipline
• Enough curiosity to learn the technical basics and explain them simply

Good to have

• Experience selling air purifiers, HVAC, water purifiers, smart home products, or premium appliances
• Experience selling to HNI households, interior designers, or architects
• Hands‑on experience with HubSpot, Zoho, or Salesforce
