Company Description:

Global Trade Council (GTC) helps governments, investment promotion agencies, and enterprises expand their global footprint through trade, investment, and innovation partnerships. We believe that globalization works best when it's strategic, evidence-based, and people-driven. Our team, spread across India, Europe, and the Middle East, designs and delivers programs that build enduring commercial bridges between India and the world. Our work spans four key pillars: Export & Trade Promotion, Investment Attraction, Innovation Collaboration, and Market Intelligence. We bring a government-level understanding of trade systems, the agility of a consulting firm, and the creativity of a startup accelerator.

Role Description:

We are seeking a senior professional to lead GTC's innovation and startup partnership initiatives — driving collaboration between
European innovation agencies and the Indian startup ecosystem.

This is a strategic, outward-facing role that requires deep understanding of how
innovation ecosystems, startup incubators, and investors

  • Helping
    Indian high-growth scale-ups
    explore global expansion opportunities, particularly across
    European markets.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and manage partnerships with
    European innovation agencies, startup accelerators, and technology parks.
  • Develop programs connecting
    European startups
    with Indian partners for
    pilots, market access, and co-development.
  • Identify and mentor
    Indian scale-ups
    seeking internationalisation — match them with
    European investors, accelerators, and corporates.
  • Engage with
    Indian venture capital and corporate investor networks
    to facilitate co-investment and partnerships.
  • Design and execute
    innovation bridge programs
    between India and Europe — from scoping to delivery and reporting.
  • Represent GTC at key
    innovation summits, trade fairs, and ecosystem events
    across India and internationally.
  • Work with governments, industry associations, and corporates to
    shape bilateral innovation collaborations.

Qualifications & Experience:

  • 10+ years
    of professional experience in
    innovation partnerships, startup ecosystem management, or accelerator/incubator programs.
  • Proven experience working with
    Indian startup incubators, accelerators, or government innovation initiatives.
  • Strong understanding of
    European innovation ecosystems
    — familiarity with EU startup networks, innovation agencies, or soft-landing programs preferred.
  • Deep knowledge of the
    Indian VC and investor ecosystem
    — ability to build strategic co-investment and partnership opportunities.
  • Excellent relationship-building, stakeholder management, and cross-cultural communication skills.
  • Strategic mindset with the ability to translate ecosystem opportunities into tangible programs.
  • Master's degree in Business, or International Relations, preferred.
