When I went into technology,I always had it in my mind that first I would like to get some tech knowledge and then shift to some management profile.I feel a business development profile is best suited for me.

Well if you are commited to the position then u can try two ways. first try to get into pre sales (tht is preparing RFP etc and get some hint of sales and then slowly move on) i think this option you shall try in your own company as it will be easier for you to do. and another long path can be to do MBA though it will be time consuming and costly affair
