Usually, I start my message by giving a brief intro about my self - acad, work ex. I tell them that I am looking for a switch and would be grateful if they will have a discussion with me regarding the job nature of their company. It is best to try to reach out to your College alumni first as they would be very willing to help you out.

Connecting with senior people of your target company helps. Connect with them on LinkedIn and ask to have a call with them. I have landed interviews via this method.

What exactly should we tell them when they ask us about the objective of the call? Should I be direct and say that I am looking for a change and hence wanted to know about the culture, profile, etc. or should I say something else ?
