fresher’s guide to top sales careers in india (2025)

Written By Ayush Duggal

sales isn’t just tech or cold calls. it’s strategy, growth, and real money. most freshers earn ₹2.4–3.3 lpa in jobs that don’t train or grow you.

yet in fast-paced sectors like edtech, saas, fintech, and healthtech, you can start at ₹6–8 lpa. with the right skills and mindset, commissions stack up.

this guide helps you spot real sales careers, avoid the fake ones, and shows how verveschool can help if you want a boost. or do it solo.

either way, here’s how to start right.


why most sales jobs suck

a lot of jobs promise “unlimited earnings” but pay ₹15k, give you a phone, and say "start calling." no training. no respect. just burnout.

real sales jobs give you support, learning, and room to grow. therefore, this is where to look instead.


edtech (learn and earn)

india’s edtech market is growing fast. companies like scaler, crio.do, almabetter, university living, acciojob, skillovilla, leapscholar, kraftshala. your job: help students join programs or move abroad.

  • why it works: high demand for upskilling means steady leads and good commissions

  • what to ask: “how long is training?” “are leads marketing-generated?”

  • tip: check the main product (like scaler’s bootcamp) and ask how many calls lead to sales

  • where to look: internshala, naukri, or linkedin


b2b saas (serious growth)

india’s saas market is big and getting bigger. consider companies like freshworks, leadsquared, zoho, postman, clevertap.

  • why it works: big deals, clean sales processes, global clients

  • what to ask: “what’s the average deal size?” “who qualifies the leads?”

  • tip. learn words like arr and churn. drop them in mock calls.

  • where to look: wellfound, ycombinator, or linkedin


fintech (india goes cashless)

companies like razorpay, payu, phonepe, groww, and cred are leading the digital finance shift.

  • why it works: everyone needs digital payments or investments

  • what to ask: “are leads given?” “how is compliance handled?”

  • tip: read up on recent fintech launches. mention them in interviews.

  • where to look: ambitionbox, michaelpage, or linkedin


healthtech (steady and meaningful)

companies like practo, cult.fit, and healthifyme are selling health plans, tests, or subscriptions.

  • why it works: health products have high trust and repeat buyers

  • what to ask: “what’s the sales cycle?” “can i see customer success stories?”

  • tip: ask to shadow a senior. it shows initiative and helps you learn fast

  • where to look: wellfound, naukri, linkedin


global remote (go international)

companies like zapier, hubspot, stripe, deel, and toptal hire for remote roles while pay is often in usd.

  • why it works: global firms value indian talent and pay well

  • what to ask: “which time zones?” “how are taxes handled?”

  • tip: sharpen your english. learn tools like slack and hubspot crm

  • where to look: remote.co, weworkremotely, linkedIn


salary snapshot

sector base salary extras
edtech ₹4–6 lpa bonuses, mentorship
saas ₹4–6 lpa deal bonuses, stock
fintech ₹4–6 lpa performance bonuses
healthtech ₹4–5 lpa subscription bonuses
global remote ₹6–8 lpa usd commissions, flex

note: top cities like bengaluru or mumbai often pay more

what to avoid

  • zero base pay

  • mlm or referral scams

  • companies with bad reviews

  • no commissions

  • cold-call only roles

  • pay-for-training offers


how to check if a company is good

  • search reviews on glassdoor, linkedin

  • ask about training, tools, and fresher success stories

  • check if sales targets are realistic

  • watch how they treat you in interviews

  • ask: “what does success look within three months?”

Ayush Duggal

Ayush Duggal is the kind of founder who looked at India’s graduate unemployment problem and thought, “What if the real issue isn’t jobs or skills, but the complete lack of believable salespeople?” So he built VerveSchool. A place where the overlooked learn the overlooked skill. Sales. Not the sleazy kind. The kind that actually works. The kind where someone trusts you enough to say yes without hating themselves afterwards.

He teaches people how to sell like they mean it. Not because a script told them to. But because they’ve actually understood what it means to solve a problem for someone who’s barely listening. It’s more psychology than pipeline. More theatre than theory. More “shut up and listen” than “always be closing.”

VerveSchool runs on a Pay After Placement model. Which, let’s be honest, is probably how all education should work. You pay when it works. Not before. Radical, apparently. But only if you're still pretending the current system makes sense.

Ayush is allergic to mediocrity and buzzwords. He prefers late-night coaching calls to keynote speeches. He’d rather get one ambitious underdog to a 7 LPA role than impress a room full of VCs who’ve never had to sell a ₹15,000 course to a broke 24-year-old with a BA pass degree.

He’s read more Osho than MBA textbooks and thinks most “career advice” would make more sense if it came with a warning label. He doesn’t do fake humility. Or fake urgency. Just real people, real growth, and real results.
