BusParrot (V-ROBOTICS Passenger Information Systems Pvt. Ltd.) is looking for a Chief Marketing Officer to lead go-to-market for India's most advanced passenger information platform.
We design and manufacture AI, IoT and ICT products that give bus passengers real-time information: Nextbus QR signs, station announcement systems, LED display boards, onboard next-stop announcers and the BusParrot passenger and operator apps. Over 500 QR signs are already live across Kerala. We are a MoHUA Transport4All shortlisted and Kerala Startup Mission funded company, with our own R&D and manufacturing facility at Kanjikode, Palakkad.
The opportunity is large and open. 28 states and 728 districts are still unassigned, and roughly 55 lakh bus stops across India have no passenger information at all. Your job is to turn that into revenue.
Location: Kanjikode, Palakkad, Kerala (on-site). Reports to the Founder.
What you will own
- Channel: recruit, onboard and activate State, District and Local deployment partners across India, and hit territory coverage targets.
- Government business: build relationships with State Transport Departments, KSRTC and private operators, MVD, RTA, municipalities and panchayats, and drive tenders, MoUs and Smart Procure deployments.
- Sponsorship and advertising revenue: build the local sponsor and national brand advertising engine on our QR, radio and display network.
- Brand and demand: positioning, PR, digital marketing, exhibitions and growth of the passenger and operator apps.
- Team and numbers: build and lead the marketing, partner success and inside sales team, and own the marketing budget and revenue targets.
What we are looking for
- 8+ years in marketing or business development, with at least 3 years leading a team.
- A proven record of closing government or institutional business in India, or of building a partner, dealer or franchise network across states.
- Comfortable owning a revenue target, not just campaigns.
- Background in B2G, infrastructure, IoT, mobility or SaaS is a strong advantage.
- Fluent English and Malayalam; another Indian language is a plus.
- MBA in Marketing preferred. Willing to be based at Kanjikode, Palakkad and to travel across India.
Why join us
- A category-defining product in a market with almost no competition.
- Patented hardware designed and manufactured in-house at our own facility, nothing outsourced.
- Direct work with the founder, real ownership and fast decisions.
- Public impact: better information for the 72 crore daily bus passengers of India.
