IMPORTANT advice: Do not consider this role if you are not comfortable with sales quotas, revenue targets, and the sales process, including cold outreach.

About EDTEX

EDTEX (edtex.in) automates the processes that quietly consume Higher Education Institutions' time and precious resources by building and deploying custom AI solutions in the space of niche and complex Academic Operations automation - Timetabling, Elective Bidding, International Student exchange, custom-built student Information systems and other career services operations.

- IIMs - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Kozhikode
