About Shahi Serve

Shahi Serve is building a modern Indian food brand rooted in the food we grew up loving.

We’re starting with Awadhi cuisine from Lucknow — think proper kebabs, kormas and gravies, made using authentic recipes and real ingredients, without preservatives or unnecessary additives.

Our ambition is simple: take India's incredible regional food culture and make it exciting, accessible and relevant to a new generation.

And we’re looking for someone who wants to help us tell that story on the internet.

What you'll doThis isn't a “sit behind the laptop and edit 5 reels a day” internship.

You’ll be a face and voice of the brand, while also helping create the content behind the scenes.

- Be comfortable appearing on camera for Reels, Shorts and other social content
- Host videos, explain products, tell stories and bring personality to the brand
- Come up with fun, relatable and scroll-stopping content ideas
- Shoot content using a phone/camera — food, products, BTS, founder moments, events and more
- Edit Reels and short-form videos with good pacing, music, captions and storytelling
- Write hooks, scripts and simple talking points for videos
- Experiment with different formats — talking-heads, POVs, street-style content, food reactions, trends, storytelling and more
- Keep a finger on the pulse of Instagram, YouTube, memes, trends and creator culture
- Work closely with the founder to turn random ideas into actual content
- Look at what's working and constantly figure out “okay, how do we make this better?”

You might be the person we're looking for if...
- You're naturally comfortable talking to a camera




- You can express yourself without sounding like you're reading a script
- You have personality, energy and aren't afraid to be a little goofy on camera
- You genuinely enjoy Instagram/Reels/YouTube and understand internet culture
- You have a good sense of humour and know what makes content feel human rather than corporate
- You have a valuable eye for visuals, framing and aesthetics
- You're comfortable taking initiative — you don't need someone telling you what to shoot every time
- You're curious, experimental and okay with a few ideas absolutely flopping ?
- You enjoy food and can get genuinely excited talking about it

Bonus points: If you're naturally good at storytelling, mimicry, comedy, hosting, photography, filmmaking or just making your friends laugh. What you'll getThis is an opportunity to be part of building a brand, not just maintaining one.

You'll get to

- Become one of the recognizable faces of an upcoming food brand
- Build a real on-camera + content portfolio
- Work directly with the founder and creative team
- Get hands-on experience across content, social media, branding and D2C
- Experiment with your own ideas and actually see them go live
- Learn what happens behind the scenes when a consumer brand is built from scratch
- Potentially grow into a full-time creative/content role as we scale

We care more about your vibe than your resume.Portfolio > Degree > Resume.

If you've already created Reels, hosted videos, run a content page, made funny videos with friends, created content for college or simply have “I should probably be making content” energy — show us.

Send us your CV + Instagram/portfolio + 2–3 videos you're proud of.

- Come help us make Indian food impossible to scroll past.
