TEXMiN Business Development Executive Recruitment 2026

TEXMiN Business Development Executive Recruitment 2026: Overview

Technology Innovation in Exploration and Mining Foundation (TEXMiN), hosted at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, is hiring a Business Development & Corporate Communications Executive. The foundation connects research teams, businesses, start-ups and public agencies working on mining technology. Your engagement will be contractual and linked to the foundation's project work.

TEXMiN is a Section 8 not-for-profit company established under the Department of Science & Technology's National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems. Its original Technology Innovation Hub has been upgraded to a Technology Translation Research Park. That change broadens its work across exploration, mining, mineral processing and beneficiation, giving the communications and business development team a wider portfolio to support.

The foundation works on bringing technology into industry use, including validation, demonstration, commercialisation and start-up incubation. Its focus areas include mining automation, artificial intelligence, robotics, critical minerals, mine safety and sustainability. This role sits alongside those technical teams and supports the relationships and communication around their work.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial engagement: The appointment is for two years or the project tenure. Renewal or extension depends on your annual performance, and continued engagement depends on satisfactory work.
