ABOUT INNOFARMS.AI
INNOFarms.AI is a global AI and deep-tech company building the Farm Intelligence & Automation Suite — an AI agronomist that gives growers early warning on pests, disease, irrigation and crop health, a farm operating system, and IoT sensing and automation for fertigation, irrigation and climate. We operate across Hong Kong, the UAE and India, with live commercial deployments in controlled-environment and protected cultivation in India and international markets, including reference farms you can visit.
THE ROLE
This is a closing role, not a coordination role. You own the number, build the pipeline and sign the business.
Our customers are commercial growers, multi-site farm operators, exporters, and the companies that design and build protected-cultivation projects — polyhouses, net houses and greenhouses. A large part of the job is getting in early enough that automation is specified into a project at design stage, where it is subsidy-eligible and sits inside the financing the grower is already arranging. The rest is selling directly to commercial farms and operators who want better control of yield, inputs and farm operations.
You will sell a one-time automation suite — sensors, IoT and automation devices — and a recurring platform subscription in the same conversation. Both matter, and we need someone comfortable with both halves.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
• A number: eight automation deployments and two new project partners in your first six months, and the pipeline to support it.
• North India and the Central region to start, expanding west and south as you prove it out.
• Finding projects before they are designed: horticulture department approvals, project sanctions, builders, consultants and your own network.
• Recruiting and managing project-partner relationships with turnkey builders, system integrators and agri-project consultants.
• Direct selling to commercial farms, exporters and multi-site operators, from first meeting to signed order.
• Selling to FPOs and agri enterprises that manage a network of farms, both owned and extended.
• Working the subsidy and finance file with growers — NHB, MIDH and state horticulture schemes, and bank or AIF-backed project funding.
• Site visits and demonstrations at our live reference farms.
• An honest weekly pipeline review with the founder: named accounts, real stages, next actions.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Must have
• Five to ten years selling farm management software, sensors and IoT, farm automation, irrigation, fertigation, climate control or agri-equipment into Indian horticulture or protected cultivation.
• A record of personally closing multi-lakh capital purchases with commercial growers, large farm owners, FPOs, farm operators, farm builders or agri-businesses — real closing, not only channel or dealer appointments.
• You have carried an individual quota and can tell us precisely what you hit and what you missed.
• Working knowledge of the horticulture subsidy process and agri project finance, and comfort sitting with a commercial grower and a banker in the same meeting.
• Experience selling a recurring software, service or AMC line alongside equipment. This one matters: part of what you sell has no box to point at.
• Fluent Hindi and English, and willingness to be on farms rather than in an office.
Strong advantage
• Existing relationships with greenhouse and polyhouse construction companies, project consultants, horticulture departments, commercial growers, FPOs or agri-businesses in North and Central India.
• Background at an irrigation, fertigation, net house, greenhouse automation or agri-equipment company with a project-sales motion.
• You have opened a territory from zero rather than inheriting an existing book.
• Punjabi, Marathi or Kannada alongside Hindi and English.
WHAT YOU GET
• Complete ownership of India revenue, reporting directly to the Founder & CEO. No layers.
• Working reference farms you can take a prospect to, not a slide deck.
• Uncapped variable compensation with real upside on project value, paid on collection.
• A product already installed and running, with measured outcomes on live farms.
HOW TO APPLY
Email your CV to careers@innofarms.ai with the subject line “Sales Manager India — [Your Name]”.
In the body, answer this in no more than 150 words: describe one capital equipment or automation sale you personally closed with an Indian grower or agri-business — what you sold, the approximate order value, and the one objection that nearly killed the deal and how you handled it.
- Applications without that answer will not be reviewed. It is the job, in miniature.
